One of the new features of Windows Vista that caught my curiosity from the beginning was its ability to use removable flash memory as extra disk cache space; you can plug in a USB pen-drive or a memory card and the OS will cleverly make use of the fast access storage available to speed up your system.
Sounds clever, huh? But hands up if you’re still dubious *raises his own hand*. Kevin Tofel is not a man to stand around with his hands in the air like a tweaked tween at a rave; oh no, he whipped out his Vista RC2-running Samsung Q1 and tried it out for himself. His conclusions? Well, the speed increase is noticeable but you have to own a flash drive sufficiently large and with adequate data transfer times; other than that, it’s a winner!

I can agree with this, Had to try out a few of my flash drives before I found one that worked well, it’s a 1Gb Swissbit drive.
NeutralOut of intrest what storage did you use and how well does Vista run on a Q1?
