Windows 7 supposedly has a better version of Readyboost.

The important factors to consider when buying a suitable USB drive are: Random 4KB reads and Random 512KB writes.
I'm looking for speeds of above 5MB/s and 2.5MB/s respectively, but most drive reviews don't include these figures and focus on sequential transfers. 8MB/s and 10MB/s+ are desirable.
Can anyone recommend a good and cheap product in a 4GB size? Corsair Voyager GTs lead the pack, alongside Transcend's Jetflash 185. Both of these are approx. £30 delivered.
BTW, before anyone replies with: "Just add more RAM"... A majority of Windows 7 and vista users are stuck at 3.x GB due to their motherboards not supporting >4GB (including with a 64-bit O/S).
