That's idiotic. Windows puts those restrictions in place for a reason. If the drive doesn't meet the requirements, it WILL make your machine slower. You want to use something that exceeds those requirements as much as possible.cristiandeidaho said:You people need to learn how to not assume the worst in things, what pessimism! Why comment about it when you have no idea what it is?! I have enabled readyboost on my secondary hard drive and what do you know windows goes from 7 seconds complete loading time to 5. Don't tell me that using a secondary hard drive makes no sense. It makes perfect sense when my hard drive has a seek time of 0.04ms and has write speeds of 150MB per second. I am using a 4GB ram drive by Gigabyte. 1GB is dedicated to page file. Don't speak of what you don't know.serishema said:*snip*
