Hello, 1. ReadyBoost is method to speed up windows _BOOT_ time only. Nothing more. You will notice the difference only if you restart Windows often. 2. RAM disk does not deliver any speedup compared to properly configured AmiBroker. With properly configured AmiBroker I mean using appropriate

Hi Herman, I am still using XP as I didn't want Vista when I bought my new computer 2 years ago. Would the flash drive idea work with XP or do you need Win7? I currently have 3 Gig of Ram but thought this might be a useful idea when I work with Photoshop as some of my files are well in excess

There was a good discussion of RAM DISKS, 12/15/09 - 12/17/09, on this forum. Remember, there are two types of RAM disk, hardware, and software only. I would expect that the hardware ones would be considerably faster than software only. But I don't have either. So that is mere expectation
