Thanks for the quick replies!^^

I have 4GB DDR2 but I was just curious as to what this Ready Boost feature is all about as that I do have quite a number of SD memory cards but I couldn't test it as that it might generate unpleasant effects.

Actually, when every time I run ImgBurn... I notice that there is usually only 2Gb or 2.5Gb free memory meaning that Vista and the browsers along with games and Winamp actually consume quite some RAM, especially the fact that this is a Vista 64-bit system. Of course, compared to my 512MB XP laptop, 2.0-2.5 GB free RAM is still a lot. Nonetheless, I tend to restart the system once a week to maintain good performances.

Considering that I only have two RAM slots and that each slot already have a 2GB stick, I don't think I can add any more. Or rather to say, I don't feel like opening up my rather new laptop to add extra RAM when it is unnecessary. However, it is very easy to plug in a SD memory card or a USB stick, not to mention that they are also very cheap.

Speaking of which, is it possible to use Ready Boost on a XP 32-bit system?
