Stantoner Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 When i put a memory card into my laptop which is running vista it asks if i want to use it for added memory or something, will this make FM faster , especially if i have a 8gb or 16gb card in? has anyone done this with success??

pnefc22 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It's called ReadyBoost and it will make it faster if your computer is slow at the moment. Just try it with a 1gb or 2gb memory stick first and see if there is a difference and if there is then keep increasing Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stantoner Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 cheers buddy, does the card have to be formatted or have nothing stored on it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 No, you can have stuff on it, as well. I think that it has to be formatted. Is that a problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR866Gunner Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I thought you needed a special kind of card,or the usb slot needs to be high powered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I think all memory sticks work. Although, they need to be over 512mb if you want to see an increase in speed. Don't know about usb slots needing to be high powered because mine all are I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe98 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 They need to be of a certain speed as well (i.e. some memory sticks won't work as they are too slow). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
