ready boost?

From information on wikipedia,
"[Ready Boost] works by using flash memory, USB 2.0 drive, SD card, CompactFlash or any kind of portable massive flash storage as a drive for disk cache. ReadyBoost is also used to facilitate SuperFetch..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

"SuperFetch is a technology that pre-loads commonly used applications into the memory to reduce their load times."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista_I/O_technologies#SuperFetch

It works by taking advantage of flash's comparatively quick random seek times as compared to traditional HDDs (~0.1ms vs ~>8ms).
 
Readyboost is a solid technology for slower PC's . My theory is this, anything that boosts performance is a good thing. I use a 4 gig Cruiser stick in the back of my system and I just forget it's there, works nicely.

Does it helps? I dunno, maybe only 1 percent. But that's a point I'll take. :)

Just my 0.02 cents, you'll get more bang for your buck with less ram on your system. 1-2 gigs see a noticeable increase I've been told. But it won't hurt. :)
