I have an Acer netbook which I use for travel and also to watch movies and photos on the TV via HDMI ...
I've been reading about speeding up netbooks using ready boost function on windows 7 using flash media such as an SD card.
Here's what I know so far:
-No gains if RAM is more than 3 GB or so ( netbook only has 2 GB)
-Use the fastest SD card you can find which has more than 4x capacity of current RAM)
( I have my eye on a 16GB Lexar 400x class 10 SDHC card)
- I prefer sd card to USB pen drive as SD card can sit flush in the netbook card reader and won't stick out
-Card must be formatted to NTFC to allocate the whole card for ready boost
-Oh and is it better to get a 16gb 600x series lexar card or an older 400x 32gb ?
What matters more in this case if I am using it ONLY for Ready Boost and not for storage?
-Any other famous choices in SD cards for this purpose you can recommend ?
Don't want to spend more than $30
Any thoughts or feedback ?
Thanks IA
