I have 1.25 Gig of main memory. Can't say I notice much in the way of speed
increase with readyboost. To be honest, vista is the straw that broke the
camel's back and I am now dual-booting Linux. It really is much faster and
nicer looking (just look at something like Beryl - all the stuff aero glass
promised but doesn't need a high-end 3d graphics card), pity you need a
degree in geekness to use it <g>
