Is Readyboost for me ?

(1/3) > >>

Contro:
I just installed 16GB RAm trying windows seven 64 bits premium edition.
I am glad.
But not a friend tells me of this new device.

Is for me ?

No it's not.

Readyboost is a marketing gimmick Microsoft came up with to soften the blow of complaints about hardware requirements of Vista. It won't do much good, and it won't do any good at all if your swap file is on an SSD drive.

Thanks eleman.

Someone recommend me install the operating system in a SSD drive.
I am customed to install several times the operating systems. But microsoft forums call me fool.
Now is not permitted to install windows seven several times in the same pc. One license for each install.
I also think about the possibility to have virtual machines specialized. Downloads and communications, by example.
But I suppose is not possible to do because is against the license.

But SSD drive are too expensive. I was thinking about 300 GB of space for the system, and the data in other disks as usual

I really don't understand why I can't install several times the same system in the same machine.

Even microsoft forums tells me that w7 always install on c:, so if not possible to install in other letters.

Off-topic, but Just in Case:

Are you planning on installing 7 on a machine with more than one harddrive?


* It will automatically install the boot partition on Drive 0
* Best to have the install (C:\) on the same harddrive (0)
* If necessary, remove all other drives for it to install on the drive you want
* Best to install on a clean unpartitioned drive
