How Do I Use Readyboost On Aspire One Netbook

[phobos21]

I am trying to get ReadyBoost to run on my Acer Aspire One netbook SD cared. Windows 7 says that it needs to be USB 2 to work. after some Googling it seems that the card reader is PCI. Is there a hack to get this to work.

Have you tried enabling write caching in device manager?

Have you tried enabling write caching in device manager?

The SD is listed under Portable Devises not Disk Drives so how do I enable write caching. I don't see a option.

I meant choose "better performance" in device manager, but it has the same effect.

Thanks for the fast replies.

I don't see "better performance" anywhere, nor did the link help; I don't get a stop restarting device... check box.

I may be wrong here, but I read somewhere that in order to make readyboost perform well under Vista, you will need an USB stick that has been approved/designed for readyboost.
