5. Windows ReadyBoost to improve performance of Windows Vista Computer :

Windows ReadyBoost can use storage space on removable media/devices suchas (USB universal serial bus) flash memory, memory card, memory stick, USB pen drive etc as a memory cache and boost up computer performance. Through this you can improve performance of Windows Vista machine without installing more memory.

Here are the step to achieve this.

Step 1: When you plug any flash memory into your PC an autoplay dialogue box will be appeared on the screen as shown in the picture.


OR
Step 1: Right click "Remove Drive" and then choose "Properties" from drop down menu and then click "Ready boost" tab.

Step 2: Click "Speed up my system" option. "Removable disk Properties" window will be appeared on the screen to set the Windows Ready Boost settings.

Step 3: Click "Use this device" button to allow computer to use part of flash memory as a memory cache for your computer to inhance performace. Here also you have to mention, how much part of the flash memory do you want to reserve for the cache. In my case I have set 300 MB for this and then press "Ok" button. If you reserve 300 MB of flash memory for Windows Ready Boost then you can not use this space to store files.


In order use Windows Ready Boost your flash device must be of more than 256 MB.


If you don't have enough free space in your flash device then also you can not use it for Windows Ready Boost.


Step 4: Browse your flash memory, there you will find a filed called "Ready Boost" it is the file computer will use it as a memory cache.


Step 5: If you don't want to use this feature goto Removable disk properties and then click "Ready Boost" tab and then click "Do not use this device" option button. Then delete the Ready Boost file from flash memory. A confirmation window will be appeared on the screen. Press "Yes" button to delete the file.

Note : To get better performance use one to three times of RAM (Random Access Memory) capacity. For example if you have 1 GB of RAM then you can use 1 GB to 3 GB of flash memory for better performance.

It is not neccessary that all flash memory works fine for this feature. There are two types of flash memory are available one is slow and another one is fast. This feature will work only with fast type of memory.

Hope that these tips will help you to optimize your slow running computer.
