If I have a low-end computer, could I easily and quickly improve its performance with AC by sticking in a flash drive and using "ReadyBoost?" Sure, adding more ram may be better, but would this ReadyBoost be a kind of "quick hit?" Wayne New York, NY Hey, look! A Bandwagon! Let's jump on!

The most notable performance differences are battery usage (I can get 8 hours or better on a single charge), wake from sleep speed, and it can make a real difference when I am tinkering with large data-sets and I setup the DB and the DB cache on the SD card Fun to hammer the DB without the disk even spinning up.

For 64-bit machines one is better off just getting more RAM. JamesNT James Summerlin My personal site: http://www.dataintegrationsolutions.net james@dataintegrationsolutions.net
