On April 29, 2008, the post concerned using a jump drive to speed up Windows Vista. After rushing out and finding an 8 gig USB drive which is double my onboard memory, research really began concerning this project. If you have over 2 gigs of memory don't bother. Certainly don't by a drive larger than 4 gigs. That's all the OS can read. I did install and run the utility. All that happened was my other USB devices started acting weird.
This looked good on paper. Made sense. It just didn't work. My DDR memory is maxed at 4 gigs which is more than substantial. Jump drives use flash. They have no moving parts. Makes sense that using this technology would create a faster paging file therefore faster system. It just didn't work out that way. At least I now have a PNY 8 gig jump drive. Good buy too. Staples for $39.95. Oh well, the best laid plans of mice and men...
