Is ReadyBoost worth the Bother?
The real reason why Windows XP is better than Vista.
When Microsoft launched Vista, it struggled to come up with many real reasons why you should upgrade form Windows XP. Something that’s immediately obvious is that due to the extreme overheads of the Windows Aero interface, along with the Windows sidebar, on the same hardware. Windows XP will outperform Vista every time.
This is, of course, particularly bad news for gamers, but ends up affecting all users. One of the new features of Vista that’s supposed to help performance is ReadyBoost, and it works with the aid of USB memory sticks.
