I've seen even crummy USB2 memory sticks touted as Readyboost devices for modern computers.
So I'm wondering if putting say a 4 GB memory card in the Express-thingie slot of my X32, and assigning it as the Swap partition under XP, might speed things up and reduce access to hard drive. Yes, it's still a mechanical drive. I *never* use the Express-thingie slot for anything else. Other considerations might include: hiding the new swap partition, not assigning it a letter, how fast would swap- filing kill the card?, what's the minimum speed / brand of card that would make this a speed improvement over the status quo, using the mechanical drive for swapping? Anybody tried such a thing? -- happy Jonathan Berry and Erika http://members.shaw.ca/berry5868/fun.htm _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
