ReadyBoost allows you to use a USB2 memory stick (512MB - 4GB) as (sort of) extra RAM.
You leave the stick in 'permanently'.
If you connect a stick that qualifies VISTA will provide a 'use for ReadyBoost' as an "Open" option. If you pick that it takes you to a dialogue where you tell it how to use it.
I have had a 4GB stick in since my first boot of VISTA. But SP1 invalidates all its content, so I am hoping that it will soon get the stuff it needs to run me faster. Right now it's slower than pre-SP1.
