is there a noticble difference between sandisk ultra 2 and extreme 3? And a difference between sandisk duo and the ultra 2?

I can tell you that the Sony 2gig memory stick pro duo does not work with speed boost. And the funny thing is I wanted a sandisk one and BB was out of them.
Sony should really work it is their computer.

is the sandisk 4 extreme III duo out? I just ordered a 2gb stick because i cant find anywhere, where they sell the 4gb stick.

Argh!

I have a Sandisk 2gb Extreme III in my 380N and it seemed to slow down performance quite a bit!!!

How sad... Isn't windows supposed to learn your preferences, and tailor ready boost to them? If so, should I expect a performance increase as time goes by?

i havent really noticed a difference at all with my extreme III duo either... 18mb/sec write and read speed...

In fact, I have ordered the UX1 because I do not expect any significant performance increse from the UX490 if at all. The main advantage would be a larger SDD.

the Lexar "Memory Stick PRO Duo"(nothing more, nothing less) 1Gb work fine with ready boost.

I am confused. How come that the slower SanDisk 8GB Ultra ll Memory Stick PRO Duo (rated 10MB/sec Read/Write Speed) works with readyboost while the faster Sony MSXM8GS (rated minimum 15MB/sec Read/Write Speed) doesn't? is there something else besides speed that matters here?

So, when a memory stick type 'works fine', what does that mean? Does it increase performance as Readyboost promises? Or is it just there, not really adding but not detracting either.
