#WHAT IS READYBOOST SERVICE FOR VISTA WINDOWS#
|1| On TechRepublic a slightly different function is given to ReadyBoost: instead of storing into the flash-based external memory prefetched data that would go to the RAM, it redirects prefetched data that would go to the virtual memory into flash drive, |2| Michael Fortin, who led the Windows Client Performance Team at the time SuperFetch and ReadyBoot were developed, said basically that ReadyBoost is intended to manage “SuperFetched” data in a flash device. |1| |2| |3| |4| Though, I think it also stores some data in the virtual memory when there is not enough RAM to accommodate all of it.Īccording to a text on HowToGeek, the ReadyBoost would work with SuperFetch by loading the data selected into a flash drive instead of occupying the RAM with them. Knowing this information, it may load data into the RAM before the user needs it. SuperFetch is explained as a kind of limited artificial intelligence created to identify patterns on the user activity, so it may predict what the user is going to do in a given time. Some sources suggest that ReadyBoost works alongside another Windows feature: SuperFetch. Searching through the web I came to three possible answers:ġ - ReadyBoost stores the data picked by SuperFetch However, I still don’t understand what data ReadyBoost stores on the flash device.
I get that it stores some data into a flash drive so they may be accessed faster, sent to the RAM, and then used by the CPU. I am trying to understand the ReadyBoost feature that is still available in Windows 10.
