Get Vista's ReadyBoost benefits on your Windows XP machine.
 
If there is one thing that can speed up your computer, it's memory. Adding more RAM can speed up your applications several times, decrease loading times and improve overall performance of your PC. More memory means less hard drive activity. But what if adding more RAM is not an option for you? Maybe you just don't have the necessary tools or experience, or just aren't comfortable with the idea of getting inside your PC. Or maybe you've got a notebook computer that's stuffed with RAM sticks or uses exotic and expensive memory. Or quite the opposite, you might already have enough RAM and adding more memory does not result in any visible performance benefits.
 
Windows Vista enjoys ReadyBoost technology that uses external flash memory to speed up system performance without adding more RAM. But what if you use Windows XP and have no intention of upgrading?
 
Hold on to your Windows XP system! There is no need to upgrade just for the sake of ReadyBoost! eBoostr speeds up Windows XP by using inexpensive flash memory. Using eBoostr increases system responsiveness and makes big applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Office load much faster.
 
Unlike ReadyBoost, eBoostr is able to use almost any flash memory, including ReadyBoost certified units. Use up to four USB sticks, CompactFlash, SD, MMC or xD cards to give your Windows XP system a boost!
 
eBoostr works perfectly for desktop computers, but laptop users gain even more. Laptop computers use slower hard drives than their desktop counterparts, and benefit even more from reduced hard drive activity provided by eBoostr. Notebooks not only work faster with eBoostr; they work longer. Less hard drive activity means less power consumption, which results in longer battery life.
 
You might already have one or more flash sticks or memory cards sitting on your desk or in your digital camera. Plug them in, run eBoostr and enjoy the extra speed boost!
