Have you ever wished that you could get the wonderful benefits of Vista's ReadyBoost for your XP machines? Yeah, we didn't think so either, but just in case you are, there is now the eBoostr application promising to make your computer boot faster. Just like ReadyBoost,
eBoostr is supposed to make your computer boot faster and be a little more responsive by using its smart caching technology. ReadyBoost seems to be a complete waste of your flash drive with Vista, so maybe this app will do a little bit better on XP.
I've said it before and I'll be happy to say it again, ReadyBoost is simply one OS implementation too late to make a big impact on users. Back when XP launched and most PC's had a maximum of 128-256 MB of memory, this could have been a huge help. Now that consumers have made it through the memory rush that has driven the standard to between 1GB and 2GB of RAM, there is little point in having additional memory.
