[edit] Windows ReadyBoost

It appears that ReadyBoost was forgotten (or integrated with SuperFetch). There are probably several sources of information for it, but the one I just came across is here. --Kamasutra 09:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

I think the introduction should be more informative. will change soon —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alaning (talk • contribs) 08:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] USB Faster than RAM

I believe that the initial comments that were on this forum shed light on some of the improvements and new technologies utilized by Windows Vista (superfetch). I will paste the old discussion below:

YO YO YO YO, I heard the mad notes about the vista superfetch. gun shots to microsoft. But straight up how is usb flash mem (yo) faster than harddrive spinners? I busted out the numbers yo, and quickly concludidized that flash mem (yo) shat the comparison. Big ups to my man cc, tony, and the russian monkeys. I would like an answer, still. WHAT WHAT! Straight goods !!!

That's what I initially thought, and after some research, I found that while that is true for large reads, it evidently does not hold true for small random files due to a hard drive's seek time. -- Comthought 19:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Really yo, Comthought you are da bomb, thankz for the low down on the hype superfetch speed increasation that can be realized. I am totally going to busted a nut (word is bond crazy shots), when vista comes out, if it isn't the shit I am gonna snap, word is bond. Forgot to give shout outs to my man GQE and Sir Ishwmael.

On a finale note, in da mad words of Master G

"you just been hit by the Capricorn King, I rocked you gentle, I rocked mean, I rocked you in and I rocked you out, You made me scream but I made you shout"

I remember reading this on microsoft's website when they said that Windows can retreive data faster from USB sticks than it can from RAM. I think this needs to be checked. WinSrev 12:35, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

If so then that's some incredibly slow RAM. The claim is that USB drives can read/write faster than a hard drive. It is supposed to supplement RAM if needed, but certainly not replace it. --Kamasutra 21:18, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Design

I think ReadyBoost, SuperFetch, and Transactional NTFS should have their own pages, and the Vista IO page should just show brief summaries Phaldo 18:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
