Working Ready Boost MS Duo List

[Benz145]

Here I'll try to list all the cards that are confirmed as working with the Windows Vista Ready Boost feature. This list is for cards that go in the UX's built in MS Duo slot. Also I will provide links to Ready Boost information.

Ready Boost Summary From Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/readyboost.mspx

Working Cards -

• SanDisk Ultra II 2GB
• SanDisk Ultra II 4GB
• SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 1GB
• SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 2GB
• SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 4GB
• SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo 8GB (not confirmed)

Maximum allocation for ready boost is 4GB. You can still use a larger capacity card with Ready Boost, but you can only devote 4GB of space to Ready Boost use.

Please help me populate this list by posting here with more cards that do or don't work. Please try to give the full name of the card, and any other specs you fell is important.

Please post your cards and confirm whether or not they work with Ready Boost.

I assume that the Sony cards work?

[Benz145]

Not all Sony cards will work with Ready Boost, its all dependent on the speed. If someone knows exactly how fast a card needs to be in order to be Ready Boost compatible, that information would be appreciated : )

As far as I read the latest supports powered by A-Data chips are ready boost compatible and some of them are the P2 series of their USB pendrives.
