Is is true that if u want to use Vista's ready to boost then u should allocate memory of pen drive equal to ram memory?
i.e. if ram=512mb then allocate memory of pen drive=512mb.

not to my knowledge, but i could be wrong !

The baseline requirements are :
The USB Key must be at least USB 2.0
The device must be able to do 3.5 MB/s for 4 KB random reads uniformly across the entire device and 2.5 MB/s for 512 KB random writes uniformly across the device.
The USB Key has to have at least 230mb of free space

"Microsoft recommends matching the size of the USB key with your system memory. So if you have 1GB of RAM, get a 1GB key. They also say you can get more speed with a key up to 2.5 times bigger, so a 2GB key would be even better."

just came across this...
