PC help: Ready, steady, boost USB key

Improve Vista performance with a USB key

Computeractive Staff, Computeract!ve 27 May 2008

Windows Vista makes it possible to use USB memory keys to help improve the performance of a PC by using a portion of its capacity to supplement the installed memory. When you insert a compatible memory key, select ‘Speed up my computer’ from the Autoplay menu.

If this does not appear, open Windows Explorer, right-click on the icon for the drive, select Properties and move to the Readyboost tab. Select the ‘Use this device’ option and then move the slider to indicate how much storage space should be used to help speed up Vista.
