I've been playing with ReadyBoost on my system - Windows 10/64, 8 GB
RAM, Core 2 Quad 3 ghz. I'm running a SATA RAID 1 array, which isn't
the fastest thing on the block.

I remember reading about ReadyBoost and tried with a USB 2 reader and
a 4GB MicroSD card I had laying around. I noticed a bit of a boost,
but it interfered with reading cards with the reader - I think the
reader doesn't like having more than one card drawing current.

I was poking around on Amazon and found a 32GB SSD for $12. Ok, I can
experiment for that little $$$, and I've got a use for it if it
doesn't help.

Put it into my system (luckily I have 6 SATA ports), fired up Windows,
formatted the SSD, told ReadyBoost to use it, and I'm noticing a nice
little speed boost with my system. I haven't measured anything
with/without it, but definitely feel like apps are opening quicker.

Maybe I'll put a page file on it, see what that does...
