[Merino]

hi,
readyboost use to increase performance of hard disk but how would i know that its working properly.Is there a program that can test if ReadyBoost is increasing my performance?
thank you.

i think you can do that with Windows Experience Index (WEI) .Windows Vista uses SuperFetch technology to automatically determine which data to cache. You probably won’t notice a huge performace difference. ReadyBoost can only help improve disk I/O performance check this ReadyBoost - how to set up PERFMON to monitor ReadyBoost activity

Since ReadyBoost use to make faster flash memory operation as a virtual HDD,try SiSoftware Sandra Lite "Physical Disks" benchmark.You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, ODBC Connections, USB2, Firewire etc.
