well ready boost pretty much using a sd micro or usb flash drive as extended ram to increase performance like said here
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/readyboost.aspx

since i dont have a flash drive i found this hack to let ANY thing usb related that has space on it for ready boost here
http://www.windowsvistamagazine.com/US/05582469248596696351/use-any-usb-stick-to -readyboost-your-computer.html

so i used my hard drive i connect via usb and it works my extra 160 gb sata hdd can be used ready boost up to 4 gb (which is the most ready boost will let any drive have )
so pretty much ready boost will work on my hdd connected via usb

but heres where things get confusing for me heres a post of people talking about the hack and ready boost period
http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t525320.html

and theirs all this talk about it begin useless and the read and write speed they give here will be useless or make my pc slower then faster which i dont want

what i basically trying to say is want is what the read and write speed do i need to set for my hard drive connect via usb for ready boost since some
people saying slower hdd read and write speed will make my system slower and wont show any improvement well others saying it will help

and to say it once again i have a 160 gb seagate hard drive connected to my pc via usb and did the hack above with its read and write speed settings to get readyboost to work on it...im not sure if it has helped or see any improvement so i want to see if i should change the read and write speed to a higher number then the 1000 said in the hack or just turn it off at all
and also my pc comes with 1 gb of ram but says 800 mb in system settings :S


Again, certain things are disabled on purpose. ReadyBoost is only enabled for flash drives (and only really fast ones at that) BECAUSE other storage devices simply aren't fast enough for ReadyBoost to make a positive difference...

so think my hard drive wont do shit?



No, it'll actually hurt your performance...
