One of my mates has been raving about the "Ready Boost" feature in Vista, that enables you to use a usb memory stick (with fast ram) to give your machine a helping hand.
Samsung, the leaders in cool stuff these days have just announced a 4GB booster. Apparently Vista compresses this so it actually is about 8GB of extra kazoom.

What does this mean? Apparently it means fast user switching. You know what i want - quick restarts...not hibernates.....so when once every month that Windows forces you to reboot your machine you don't have to wait for 14 minutes for it to restart... I have a centrino 1.6 with 1gb ram...surely XP Pro should boot quicker than that. I suspect the windows indexing in the office beta is not too efficient....it seems to use about 10x as much resources as the google desktop indexing and crawling duo....maybe i just need to upgrade.
