Windows 7 : Multiple usb flash drives with ReadyBoost

So, just for fun I gather together some old usb flash drives sitting around my computer desk, formatted then to exFAT, and dedicated them to ReadyBoost.

All together it's about 29.92 GB decicated to ReadyBoost...

I swear it makes a good difference. I already have 4gb of ram in this system, but I do do a lot of multitasking.

At this moment: I have an ide open, creating a photosynth (87% synthy, my highest yet!), watching a youtube video, picasa running, and importing some home videos from another flash drive!

And not one bit of lag, 'tis nice.

No loss of a drive either, if I need a flash drive I just turn off the ReadyBoost option in the properties.
