    Hey fellows I just installed ebootr on my TZ150 and its gives a pretty good boost in performance. It can use up to 4 flash devices and has no restrictions on write speeds such as those in readyboost in vista. Im using a type ll memory stick and can say it boost applications and boot up times check out their website

    I love my SONY TZ

    One of Vista's selling points on XP; thats very interesting. Can you provide us with benchmarks of some kind?

    It doesn't work much in Vista, so I wouldn't expect much in XP.

    pretty interesting. Technically makes sense ... it'll be good if you can compare system and application boot times with and without.

    Investigating Intel's Turbo Memory: Does it really work?



    So if the real hardware ReadyBoost for Vista is questionable, this software hack for XP probably doesn't do much..
