Re: Laptops -dedicated to music only?

well, it doesn't quite work that way - the speed of the media being 
used does not actually match the speed of actual RAM. I wouldn't 
trust an audio application with ReadyBoost. It is a very cool idea, 
but no one should be misled in to thinking that it is the equivalent 
of adding more real RAM. And for systems with >1GB RAM there appears 
to be no significant performance increase whatsoever, AFAIK
 
Now, I readily admit that I may have been misinformed although the person I talked to was an engineer as I have ZERO idea about this sort of thing, but could I ask you to please back up what you are saying with some idea as to why this would not increase memory performance? Just so I/we could understand it a little better. It seems odd to me that what is being labeled "portable virtual RAM memory" would in no way contribute to 1 gig of onboard RAM.???????
