    Even with 2GB of ram I still notice a difference with Readyboost on and off.

    Has anyone tried readyboost with an SD card or Memorystick? I've heard that it's possible, but not with a USB card reader. Wondering if it's possible with the built in card reader.

    Yes, I understand that with the proper speed USB drive you can. I've also read this in the Q&A from this site

    Q: Do you support SD/CF/memory stick/MMC/etc.?
    A: Mostly. In beta2, we added support for a small number of SD/CF cards on internal USB2 & PCIe busses. RC1 has a much broader support range.

    I was wondering if anyone has been able to do this. My TXN15 has built in Memory Stick and SD slots. I still have XP and waiting for my Vista upgrade.
