I was gonna start the exact same thread. I want to know if this does anything for performance.
Im running Vista Ultimate 64 bit, with my system in the left.
EDIT: Ive found some nice articles that give an very basic outline of performance, nothing too indepth, but good for a general overview

Looks like its not going to do me any good as I already have 2GB mem.
With x64, I'd be getting some ReadyBoost on the go
Typically x64 uses around 30% of your existing RAM again over x86, and ReadyBoost isn't a replacement for RAM, it works alongside it. You stick some in, and Vista will use it, no matter how much RAM you've got. The differences will obviously scale with how much RAM you've got, but I'll be sticking a 2gb stick in when I get Vista onto my main rig, which will probably have 4gb in at that point anyway given how cheap DDR2 is at the moment.
Remember Vista, just like XP, will become more demanding as applications inevitably bloat more and more.
I will be adding something to use ReadyBoost on as soon as ExpressCard Flash drives come out. Or I will replace my HDD with the 64GB SSD when they become slightly more reasonably priced than they are listed currently.
I am not planning on going to X64 yet as the driver support is too poor. I will just stick with 32 measly bits.
Yep, CCL have up to a 8Gb stick which theyve labelled as readyboost certified:

can these turboflash or readyboost sticks be used with xp just like standard usb sticks?
so will these sticks will be faster in xp than the ordinary ones?

Do you think we will see laptops coming with xGB of turboflash already installed in the future?
The reason being would to save having a memory stick hanging out the side all the time.
this combined with the next gen of Intel processors and Solid State Disks could see a significant leap in laptop performance.
Nah, it's different. The flash on the hard drives (ReadyDrive) is being thought of as a place to store core operating system files - even the whole OS in some cases - making it much faster to boot.
The flash sticks (ReadyBoost) is used as secondary paging file, which when available, Vista uses instead of the copy on the hard drive (as it's faster and has much less impact on overall performance).
