1. A PC powered with Windows Vista.
2. A spare USB2 socket.
3. A USB2 memory key.

NOTE: In order to avail this feature, the USB memory key you are using should be marked with “Enhanced for Readyboost”.

After you have the required apparatus with you just follow these steps:

1. Plug in the USB memory key into the USB socket.
2. Right click on the USB key’s icon in Win Explorer and choose properties.
3. Go to the “Readyboost” tab. Select the option that says “Use this device”. The slider that you see below tells the Readyboost that how much memory of USB key to use to help speed up Vista.
4. Click OK and Voila !!
