guys ito po, nice gamitin at i try nyo. specially po sa windows7 din po.
Till this date, Microsoft’s windows had two options for the memory requirement of the computer, so that the computing can be done at cheaper rates and that too without installing the physical memory.
1. Physical Memory (RAM)
2. Page File (A virtual memory file, stored on hard disk).
The page file is used by the Windows OS to cater the needs of various applications when the physical memory is fully used up. The reason for that is, that Virtual memory is slower as compared to the physical memory and thus Phyical memory takes the first priority.
However, with the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft has introduced a new technology called ReadyBoost. This feature is also available in Windows 7. With the help of this technology one can use any Flash drive, SD Cards, CF Cards as the third memory option for the computer.
Now, the benefits of USB Flash Drive or Cards as a source of Memory :
1. It is faster than the virtual memory which is accessed through the hard disk drive.
2. It is cheaper as compared to the actually Physical Memory.
How can it be activated ?
In order to activate the ReadyBoost technology on your FlashDrive or Memory Cards, you have to follow these steps…
1. Open My Computer.
2. Right Click on the Removable Disk Drive and select Properties.
3. Click on ReadyBoost Tab.
4. Enable the feature by selecting the option and allocate the amount of space you want to use as memory.
Things to be noted…
If your device is not giving the option of ReadyBoost then it means that it doesn’t clear up the minimum data trasfer rate required by ReadBoost technology.
How To Force Windows 7 To Use A Unsupported (Doesn't Meet Speed Specifications) Drive
1. Plug in the device.
2. Open the Readyboost tab on the device properties.
3. Select “Do not retest this device”
4. Unplug the device
5. Open regedit (start->run->regedit)
6. Expand - HKLM (Local Machine)->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->EMDgmt
7. Find your device.
8. Change Device Status to 2
9. Change ReadSpeedKBs to 1000
10. Change WriteSpeedKBs to 1000
11. Plug in the device.
12. Enable Readyboost!!!!

How to Find ReadyBoost Speed Rating
1. Make sure that Windows 7 is using your flash memory device for ReadyBoost.
2. Click the Start Orb>> then type eventvwr.msc in the search box, then hit enter.
3. Press Continue when Windows 7 asks for permission (if you have UAC enabled) , and the Event Viewer window will be displayed.
4. On the left panel of the Event Viewer, navigate the tree as follows: Applications and Services Logs>>Microsoft>>Windows>>>ReadyBoost>>Operational >>
5. Double-click the ‘Operational’ section to open it.
6. On the right panel, hit the ‘Find’ button and search for the word ‘Speed’. Now close the Find window. In the middle panel are Windows 7’s speed test results
JUST FOR FUN ::
Post your Speed Test Results In The Following Format :-P
P.S.
Once your drive is in ReadyBoost mode, you will not be able to add/remove files
It is recommended to used a fresh, blank drive
I allocated all of my 4GB
Once in this mode, the drive under "Computer>>" will have a Red Bar below it.
