1. Let Vista test is, and check the Do not Retest this device checkbox.
2. Unplug the device
3. Go to regedit

Make a note of the current devices first to make life easier- Panman
4.find the key related to you device (the device vendor and name is in the key)
5. Change the follwing values:
Device Status 0x02
ReadSpeedKBs 0x1000
WriteSpeedKBs 0x1000
6. Plug the device, right click on it to open properties and enable cache.[/quote]
Well I just happened to have a 2Gb SD lying around which ‘failed’ as being Readyboost suitable so I thought, why not.
Certainly seems a little snappier
Usual Caveat applies when messing with the registry, BACK UP FIRST!
