Many XP users are desperate to use a feature like Vista Readyboost on XP. It seems in some cases that people hate to wait for a program to be released; which is a shame considering how the best things in life comes with patience. However, for those of you who can’t wait for programmers to release a simple application, you can use Windows XP unspoken Readyboost Feature.
NOTE: Before reading the info below, be aware that even though it may appear simple, most people don’t know how to activate this feature properly. As a result to the aforementioned, many don’t achieve the expected results -> [For these users, I advice you to be patient and to wait for programmers to do their jobs]-> ALSO, BE SURE YOU HAVE A READYBOOST COMPATIBLE FLASK DRIVE, otherwise, you won’t see any difference in Window performance (even though you can use this feature on any flask drive).

Right click on My [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]Computer[/COLOR][/COLOR], go to Properties, and then navigate to the Advanced or Performance tab.
After you have reached this point, follow the images below.
Once you have reached the screen above, select your flask drive, and add it to your [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]virtual [COLOR=blue ! important]memory[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] (paging size is up to you).
*It is recommend making a partition just for file swaping (if using a hard drive instead of a flask drive), so that system fragmentation won’t force the swap file to fragment as well.
*As investigated by Morara*: The max amount of swap per drive is 4GB, but you can put more by spreading it out across multiple drives. As far as size, a general rule of thumb is to use twice your RAM until you break 2GB on a desktop (CAD [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]workstations[/COLOR][/COLOR] and servers might require more), then use an amount equal to your RAM.
