There is a cool new feature in Vista that allows us to use a flash drive to speed up the OS. But my computer is'nt that high end to run Vista. So, is the a software equivalent to Windows Ready Boost for Windows XP that can be downloaded through the Internet?
I think a flash drive using Hi-speed USB would have higher bandwidth than a CD-ROM drive. I'm not sure about access times, though. I think with some small OSes the entire OS can get loaded into RAM, but I'm not sure of this size of Ubuntu. I don't have a lot of experience w/Linux.
Most new motherboards support Hi-Speed USB, which is 480 megabits per second. If you're doing video editing or gaming, I'd recommend 2GB of RAM. But if you're browsing the web, listening to music, running word processing software, and stuff like that, probably something like 1GB.
