    Is there a 3rd party program similar to "readyboost" for XP?

    Doubt it... it's probably tied into the kernel / DX10+ requirement crap that's part of vista... if you need more ram, why not just buy more ram? It's loads faster anyways...

    I was just wondering because for me to get more ram would cost about 140 dollars....and I already have the hardware that would be needed for a readyboost. But yeah, dont want to get vista now either. Oh well.

    I would also recommend more RAM. Ready boost won't compare to adding more. just watch for prices to come down, then get it when its cheap.
