My laptop runs much smoother Jamal yes there is a softwar called eboostr that will allow you to install Ready Boost on a xp machine.When you lauch ready boost it puts a cache file on the memory stick which shows that ready boost is active.I have i gig ram and 4 gig of Ready Boost noticibly increases performance, especially with opening and running applications.

I called Dell to return it, and they said I should try ready boost first. From what I've read... it's not going to help much. I've had the computer for 2 days..so there is really nothing on it yet except Vista. Is ready boost going to make any difference in performance?

I don't use my SD slot that often, so I just plug in my 2G SD card and enable readyboost. If it shaves 1 or 2 seconds here or there thats great. I don't notice an incredible increase in performance...but you can't get that unless you upgrade to a new computer anyway. Seems like a neat way to use a slot and a card that would otherwise go un-used (excepted for the rare instance when I need to transfer a file to my camera or something...) I think its a cool feature.
