      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 2010.windows@1:218/700 237db0be       PID: Synchronet 3.18a-Win32 Jul 20 2020 MSC 1925       TID: SBBSecho 3.11-Win32 r3.176 Jul 20 2020 MSC 1925       CHRS: ASCII 1       I've been playing with ReadyBoost on my system - Windows 10/64, 8 GB       RAM, Core 2 Quad 3 ghz. I'm running a SATA RAID 1 array, which isn't       the fastest thing on the block.              I remember reading about ReadyBoost and tried with a USB 2 reader and       a 4GB MicroSD card I had laying around. I noticed a bit of a boost,       but it interfered with reading cards with the reader - I think the       reader doesn't like having more than one card drawing current.              I was poking around on Amazon and found a 32GB SSD for $12. Ok, I can       experiment for that little $$$, and I've got a use for it if it       doesn't help.              Put it into my system (luckily I have 6 SATA ports), fired up Windows,       formatted the SSD, told ReadyBoost to use it, and I'm noticing a nice       little speed boost with my system. I haven't measured anything       with/without it, but definitely feel like apps are opening quicker.              Maybe I'll put a page file on it, see what that does...                             --- MultiMail/XT v0.52        * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 218/700 103/705 280/464 229/101 426           |
