How to boost Vista performance by using Flash drive, Pen drive.

Here I will tell you how a disk caching technology that makes use of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash device or any other form of flash memory to boost system performance. But don't kid yourself into thinking that this method is a substitute to Random Access Module (RAM) upgrades. Also, as far as system performance goes, you'd see noticeable performance gain only if you've RAM below 1GB.

The technology that I will use is Readyboost. ReadyBoost is an innovative method of boosting Windows Vista's performance.Here is how to do it in one single step.

Step 1: Simply plug in a flash device. The system will automatically detect the drive and offer to use it either as an external drive or as a ReadyBoost drive. Choose the latter. You can even set the amount of memory to be allocated for ReadyBoost feature - though Microsoft recommends atleast the same size as your system RAM. Don't worry: the information in the drive that is being precached is encrypted; nobody can snoop at it.
