You will need a flash drive or card with at least 1gb of free space on it. The computer will use your flash drive to increase its RAM, the space used for memory.
What to do:
If you do not see the Autoplay dialog box, right-click the device or drive, and then click Open Autoplay. If the device isn’t plugged in, hold down Shift and plug in the device. You can also hold down Shift while inserting a disc to see the list of options.
If you do this, (insert and use a flash drive or card) every time you start your computer, you should notice a definite increase in processing speed.
Notes:
With autoplay on, you just have to have the flash drive inserted, readyboost will run automatically after you set it up the first time.
Increased processing times does not mean faster internet speeds. Your internet speed is determined by your connection type, (dial up or broadband), how many people are sharing the connection, wired or wireless connection, and if wireless, how far from the router you are.
Ready boost will make everything else faster, though. Opening and closing programs and documents, saving, opening files of any type, and anything else you do off line.
