Vista 5456 readyboost

[Madhits45]

Hiya,

This sucks and I wanna make it how it was. Let me explain.. I have not gotten a vista beta in a while. Last one was 52XX something back when readyboost worked with 64mb flash drives.

Now it only works with 256mb plus drives. LAME

I have 3x 64mb USB 2.0 flash drives and 4x 128mb usb2.0 flash drives that I got for a deal because there small.

I have looked through the registry for an entry that limits readyboost use to 256mb flash drives and above but cant seem to find anything. I also looked all over the web for such a thing. Others are p***ed but no fix in sight.

Anyone else found a way around this or would like to use there old 64mb and 128mb flash drives with readyboost?

I hope we can find an answer. Maybe if there is a tweakui for vista it would have an entry.. Tweakui is prob a year away at this point though..

If you have a comment or can help please post.

Thanks

Is there a reg entry for this.. Anyone????

So no one cares about using smaller cards with readyboost.

I'd really like to find out if it can be used with smaller cards like it was in the previous vista versions.

Thanks

It's not a good idea to use Flash drives to subject to lots of reading/writing, they will wear out extremely fast.

Interesting. I did not even know that but these flash drives are really useless to me anyway. I have 5x 128mb and 3x 64mb flash drives that i got for free. So if they wearout i'm not the least bit concerned.

I'd like to use this readyboost thing with them because otherwise there useless.
