Diane, >From researching into this myself, I have found that what Joseph said is indeed correct. The purpose of this ReadyBoost technology is to give a Vista machine that is lacking in memory just that boost that it needs in order to run that much more efficientley and smoothely. Not all thumb drives support this ReadyBoost technology so it is more a hit and miss deal, unless you know exactly what you are looking for. It is something that will only work on Vista machines and not with XP or any other Operating System. It saves the cost of purchasing a completely new system that has a dual-core processor or running out and purchasing more RAM. If you don't have a thumb drive that has this ReadyBoost technology or if it does have this ReadyBoost technology but you are using on a device other than a Vista machine, it will only work as a storage medium.
