Hi Mike,
I just tried inserting a 8 GB SD card into the computer and ran
ReadyBoost. The maximum I was allocate to extra ram was 4 GB so I'm
guessing that this is the maximum allowed? If so, I'm going to pull the
8 GB card and use a 4 GB card the next time I reboot. Wow! If this
gives me an extra 4 GB to my 3 GB computer under Vista, I will be pleased.
Thanks, David
