ENABLE READY BOOST

ReadyBoost is a feature that was first introduced in Windows Vista and made its way into Windows 7. Basically, it lets you use a USB flash drive as secondary memory cache, which helps your computer run faster. Keep in mind that it's no substitute for RAM, though.

To use ReadyBoost, simply insert a USB flash drive and if it meets certain requirements, Windows 7 will ask you if you want to use it for ReadyBoost and recommend the size to reserve.

If you insert the flash drive and nothing happens, AutoPlay could be disabled on your computer. In this case do the following:

1. Go to Computer, right-click on the removable storage device and select Properties.
2. If the drive is compatible, you will see ReadyBoost there. Click on it.
3. Select Use this device and set the amount of space to be used for ReadyBoost system file.
4. Click OK.

 Depending on your initial system speed, ReadyBoost can improve the performance of your PC quite significantly. On average, you can expect something like a 15-20% improvement in some applications.
