I purchased this card (Transcend SDHC 4GB) to use in my new Dell Mini netbook specifically for Readyboost.

The Readyboost feature in Windows 7 actually works unlike Vista. If you are unaware of the Readyboost feature, it basically enables your PC to use a memory card “like” RAM. It actually takes advantage of Windows Superfetch technology.

A high speed card is neccessary to use the Readyboost feature. This card is working perfectly for this purpose.

When you plug the card into your reader, Windows 7 will prompt you if you are wishing to use this for Readyboost or other purposes.
If you select the Readyboost option, Windows will tell you this card is not qualified for Readyboost.
This is because this card does not come formatted in the required NFTS format. Just right-click on the card under “My Computer”, then left-click “format”, select the NFTS format and your good to go. BTW, make sure the “Quick Format” box is checked.
After formatting is complete right click the card under “My Computer” again and select properties. In the new window that pops up.
You will see a tab marked “Readyboost”, click on it. From there, tou will have the option to allocate some of the free space on the card or there’s even a box where you can dedicate the card for Readyboost.
