Well, per Wikipedia:
The minimum cache size is 250 MB. In Vista or with FAT32 formatting of the
drive, the maximum is 4 GB. In Windows 7 with NTFS formatting, the maximum
cache size is 32 GB per device. Windows Vista allows only one device to be
used, while Windows 7 allows multiple caches, one per device, up to a total
of 256 GB.[3] 

Wonder how much it could help.

Yeah, I would think so. Seriously doubt you'd need that much "extra" RAM
though :-)

Thanks for the responses.
The 64 stick is probably the way to go.

SO, will I be able to use it in the future for Ready Boost???

Thanks again,

bob

I got a 64gb USB 3 memory stick on Amazon for £30 not two months ago. Used
it to test that my pci0e card was working properly, then gave I to my dad
for his birthday :-)

I am going to add one or more external hard drives to one of my machines.
I wanted to use the fastest tech possible.
I added a "USB 3" card to this machine.
Purchased from Amazon:
AnkerR Uspeed USB 3.0 PCI-E Express Card with 4 USB 3.0 Ports and 5V 4-Pin
Power Connector for Desktops [VL805 Chipset] by Anker 

It installed and works but with a message saying that it is only running usb
2.
I am still researching external drives and not ready to buy yet.
Is there any way to easily test the sped of my new card w/o a drive to plug
into it?
