You all Windows XP users can now boost your system performance with flash memory (USB drive).

Upgrade the performance of your PC without upgrading its components. Get ReadyBoost-like (Vista only) technology in Windows XP. Overcome ReadyBoost limitations and use up to four inexpensive flash devices to speed up your system. Add more speed to your PC without upgrading!

If you could improve the performance of your computer by upgrading just one item, that would be memory. Adding more RAM speeds up Windows and applications, allowing the system to access the hard disk less often. This is especially true for older PCs with 256 or 512 MB of RAM, and laptop computers with slow hard drives.

Upgrading computer components can be costly, and is not always possible. Buying and plugging a USB flash memory stick, on the other hand, is neither expensive nor complicated. That is why Microsoft developed a new technology called ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost uses flash memory plugged into a computer to enhance operating system responsiveness, decrease loading time, and improve computer performance.

Any good free alternative, which actually works?

[_deXter_]

^ No, there are no free alternatives at this point. But eBoostr actually works, and works better than Vista's ReadyBoost. I've been a beta "testr" for them for the past few months and it actually worked. Well, I didn't find any improvement in the boot times but application load times did reduce significantly.

SystemBoosterXP also sounds quite promising and I'm testing it at the moment.

I'll give it a try on my gaming system. I hope to see increase in FPS.

Programs like these are designed to make programs start op faster, but they can't give you more FPS in a game.
You can get faster loading times. But you can't get more FPS!

ReadyBoost on Vista really gives you more frames per second in games.

Stop using Windows Vista, it's the new Windows Millennium 2007 with an ugly GUI called AERO

I was using eBoostr 1.0 for a while an it's a very good app
