    Hi all,

    I recently had some issues with the first Lenovo Y580 I got the fan was defective ( Lenovo Ideapad Y580 defective purchase? - YouTube). So after 3 months of waiting (thanks lenovo) I got a replacement in the mail, and after inserting a USB 3.0 flash drive I noticed that the "Readyboost" option did not pop-up. I found out that Superfetch was disabled on my install. This was different from my previous defective Y580 I had since it had Superfetch turned on which allows Readyboost to be used.

    My question is should I enable Superfetch to keep performance good on my Y580? I have noticed some slowness sometimes.
