SDHC Readyboost on the G50vt

Hi all, just a couple of questions about the G50's card reader:

1. Can it read SDHC cards?
2. Are Class 2 or Class 4 SDHC cards fast enough to use for Windows ReadyBoost?

Thanks!

 

I have somewhat a follow-up question on that... Will readyboost even do any good as we have 4GB of ram?

I know if you had less it can help but 4GB just about will handle anything good... Unless you keep massive amounts of things running at boot. heh

 

I can at least confirm that it works with SDHC cards.

 

Yeah I'm not sure it'll do anything either, it's really more of a "just because I can" sort of thing . I have my pagefile set to under 100MB right now, too.

Awesome, thanks!

 

You actually inspired me to try it with a 4GB card I had laying around. I doubt it helps much with 4GB of physical RAM, but I always like to play with things. I installed a monitor and it's written 800MB or so of cache already, I'm just watching the numbers.....I'm such a geek

 

I dont know much about ready boost, but I think I read that you need 3 times the size of your ram on the usb drive (or in this case the sd card) for it to make a difference. I think its aimed more at people with 512/1gb of ram, not really needed with 4gb...

 

lol this is exactly what I would be doing and why I asked in the first place!

Yeah considering the RB limit is 8GB (I think), it'd be pretty much pointless. But that doesn't kill my curiosity
