Windows Vista: Increase System Memory (RAM) Using Readyboost

January 18, 2009 · Filed Under Computer Tips and Tricks 

Some of you might be interested in increasing your computer’s random access memory (RAM). If you cannot afford to purchase a memory module due to financial constraints but have an extra USB drive (flash drive), try increasing your system memory to speed up the loading of your computer and softwares using the buit-in Readyboost utility in Windows Vista.

Here is how Readyboost can speed up your desktop computer or laptop computer in Windows Vista:

After inserting the USB drive to a USB port, Windows Vista automatically detects the device and gives you the option to “open folder to view files” or “use Readyboost to speed up my system”. But first, let me point out that you can only use a USB drive (flash drive) to increase your RAM if it has at least 256MB capacity. A larger capacity USB drive is better. I recommend a 1GB-4GB USB 2.0 flash drive.

If you do not want to activate Readyboost automatically, that would be just fine because you can go to “Computer” and right-click on the USB drive you wish to use with Ready. Click on “Properties” and Select the “Readyboost” tab, then you’re good to go. If for any reason, your USB drive does not meet the required performance characteristics, you won’t be able to use it with Readyboost. Note that your Flash Drive should be a USB 2.0 flash device to be able to function properly with Readyboost in Windows Vista.
