Default Speed up my Windows XP Pro. SP3 with Flash USB drives/drives?

No, "Ready Boost" is not part of Windows XP.


Darn. I was hoping someone made a software addon to be something like
this for XP.


However if you want to see a significant performance
boost you can and a second hard drive. Partition the
new (2nd) drive so that the first partition (Logical drive)
is no more than 10% to 20% of the total drive size.

Now use the first partition to relocated your pagefile
and also as a location for temporary files.


I have something like that already. Just curious if USB Flash
drives/sticks could be used for a little more speed up since I have
unused ones.
