"ReadyBoost will give the biggest improvements to low-RAM PCs and, of course, the
more storage on the key the matter. Adding a 1 GB USB memory key to a PC with 512
MB of RAM (ugh) will provide dramatic results. Adding the same key to a PC with 4
GB of RAM, well, not so much.
So the bottom line is this. ReadyBoost is a set-it-and-forget-it feature with no
downsides at all, a small financial outlay (assuming you don't have a compatible
key sitting around; I understand they come in cereal boxes now), and it delivers
a nice performance boost. Who could ask for more?"
