Vista ReadyBoost - 80gb Ipod video

I am gonna try this, what are the benefits and disadvatanges?

 

Benefits - it gives Vista access to more memory, obviously.

Disadvantages - Vista will never require 80gb+ of memory, a small simple 4gb memory stick is more than enough.

 

So my ipod wont get destroyed or anything?
What is the benefit of more memory?

 

You probably won't be able to use your ipod for readyboost as you need fast flash memory for it to work. You can find a list of readyboost compatible USB memory here:

The benefit of using readyboost is that your PC will run faster if you have less than 2GB RAM at the moment.

 

Chances are that vista'll say nooo because its not super speedy flash memory.

 

Yeah. It's a hard-drive, which ReadyBoost doesn't accept. It uses flash memory to speed itself up, if it worked with hard-drives then they would use the hard-drive in your pc
And, even vista won't manage 80gb memory usage

 

Yep, Vista does use the hard drive, it's called the Page File

 

Yeah, but it won't accept a hard drive for readyboost, that was what I was getting at

 

I am still using win2000 bcz it is reliable and offcourse win xp. I know vista has bugs.

 

the ipod touch is usb would it work?

 

The ipod touch still has a hard drive, you need fast flash memory for readyboost to work. take a look here for Readyboost compatible devices:
