PurSuiT Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ordered a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 4GB ReadyBoost Flash Drive for $42 and then came across these... hmmm... Either way hoping Ready Boost Helps out a little since my other 2GB of "Suck" Ballistix deaded again, thank you life time warrenty. But does it matter if they fry out every 6 months??? http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/imageview.php?image=6941 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Hmmm, those plug into a special connector.... USB thumb drive isn't gonna be a better substitute for actual RAM, but might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those plug into the USB header right on your motherboard. I realize that it will not take the place of RAM, but Ready boost effectively moves parts of your pagefile to flash for faster access. For the price I got the drive for figured I would try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
