Bored? Kill 1min 27sec and Watch Vista Load Using USB Readyboost

Written by Richard Blanchard on March 1st, 2007. Posted in Readyboost, USB News, YouTube Video

So… things are a little bit slow this morning with USB so jumping over to YouTube I found this 1min 27sec video on Vista booting up using the USB Readyboost technology. Although it’s not an official test using multiple machines and configurations, I think you’ll conclude that if you’ve got an extra 512MB flash drive laying around, use it for Readyboost. If you want the money shot without video, read the end of this post:

Sorry – Video off Youtube but the point was the benefit isn’t all that great using Readyboost to speed boot process

Results: Without Readyboost – 43 seconds to boot. With Readyboost – 14 seconds.
