    how can I use my PSP memory stick which is a SanDisk Pro Duo for readyboost? I have an E1505 but I obviously can't put it in the card reader. Is there any possible way?

    you need an adapter to memory stick pro then you can use it. once you get it in, it'll ask you if you wanna use it for readyboost or just storage

    I benchmarked a 155X SD card that I had, thinking it would work for ready boost... it's too slow. I finally wound up with a Patriot Xpress 200X flash drive. Fastest one on the market. I really couldn't tell that much difference in performance... Of course I only ran Vista for about a week and got tired of Cancel or Allow...

    I think the problem with the SD card was the adapater itself. There must be some overhead with trying to use an SD/USB adapter because it definitely slows the performance.
