phobos21 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 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.

Sparda Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Have you tried enabling write caching in device manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobos21 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I meant choose "better performance" in device manager, but it has the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phobos21 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 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.
