i have done this with a 16gb flash drive, i plan to add another soon
made big gain for my 4 gb ram rig

Thanks for this info, I had never heard of readyboost. I just tried this on my system using an 8 gig stick (Q6600 quad, 4gig ddr2, GTX280 oc with win 7 64) and I can now play online without noticable slowdown. I attacked a flight of 8 bombers at the same time as another hurricane, both of us in flack and I didn't get any slow down! Just last week in the same server (ATG) I got into a dogfight with a Stuka in the middle of flack and it turned into a slide show. I am very happy now! Makes me feel better about waiting until later this summer to build a new rig.
