I'm still kind of knicked about these "instant battery chargers" for your car. I'm not talking about the ones that essentially have a car battery inside or hook up to your house power that actually work, I'm talking about the ones that essentially have the battery from your cordless drill in them and decidedly do not. If your battery is ever so slightly low it *might* work but they market them like you can start a car with a dead battery with them. I can't even start a car with my giant craftsman instant start if the battery is dead. |

Has anyone ever used ReadyBoost? I recall a line of shoddy PC's sold with those USB sticks. |

It was mostly a security blanket to make me feel like I was getting doing everything I could to speed it up. It might have made a slight difference, but I really can't say it was a solid speed benefit. USB sticks are a dime a dozen. |

when disk cache was measured in kilobytes, i suppose readyboost could help those drives... but it's not uncommon to have 64mb now. the throughput of the USB is more of a hinderance than drive speed was. now with SSD so prominent, readyboost is moot. |
