Readyboost and IDE CompactFlash
I guessed it wasn't fast or large enough to pass the ReadyBoost test. so I broke down and bought a faster Sandisk 2GB Ultra II CF card. I'd use the card reader, and move on; if buying a new laptop, I'd want one with a native SD card slot (as is common now) --------------- ---- --- -- - - - - Saws are too hard

ReadyBoost compatible SD cards?
Same problem here, but I did not know the source was an SD card. I simply found one of my 2 CPUs running at 100% and the cause ultimately was ReadyBoost. Disabled it and things are again normal. May experiment by reenabling it, then inserting an SD card, but it sounds like this problem is generic to Vista?

readyboost problems
When I insert an SD card (I've tried several brands and speeds) vista completely freezes within a few seconds of inserting the card. It may pop up the box asking whether I want to use it as readyboost or as a drive, but regardless of what I choose it just freezes up. No error, no event log message.

Mike, Do you have any advice on which device is best: I see SanDisk has both a 1GB SD card and a USB stick? -- Readyboost is a useful feature where a system can cache to a space faster than anything a 10ms HDD can provide, while preserving RAM allocation for where it would be better served.. while you may not

Best for ReadyBoost: USB vs. SD Card
It is called ReadyBoost and trust me, it does just that! So, what is ReadyBoost? How does it work and how effective is it? Well, let’s take a look! Basically, ReadyBoost allows you to use a flash memory stick (flash drive) or SD card on your computer to store commonly used files so that you can access them much

Vista 64 will not see a 4Gb SD card
The X41 (1.5GHz 1.5GB RAM) improves with ReadyBoost. The Z60m (2.00Ghz and 2GB RAM) gets the CPU overload with ReadyBoost. BOTH machines have the maximum RAM configuration so adding more RAM is out of the question. Both machines respond well without the SD cards, but after the visible improvement in the X41 I did

SD Card using ReadyBoost increases CPU to 100%
"Flash devices are typically slower than the hard drive for sequential I/O, so to maximize performance, ReadyBoost includes logic to recognize large, sequential read requests and then allows these requests to be serviced by the hard drive" So tiny reads of 'random' data wins from the SD card due to the seek times

SD Card for ReadyBoost?
With the X41 (slower processor and less RAM than the Z60m), the SD card makes a visible improvement. The Z60m has massive spike in CPU when ReadyBoost is enabled on the SD card...it has a 2Ghz processor, 2GB of RAM and a very good graphics card (by laptop standards) so why should the CPU overload of 80-100% when

SD Card for ReadyBoost?
Remove SD card and problem goes away. Only other point that might make this different from most PCs is that we are using either the JMicron or SiI SATA controllers in a RAID1 configuration on all of the PCs. Not sure what this would have to do with Optical IO issues but on the other hand never suspected ReadyBoost
