Enhance your Vista system with Kingston.
Take full advantage of Windows Vista with a Kingston memory upgrade
and a DataTraveler USB Flash drive enhanced for Windows
ReadyBoost.
Adding more memory to your system will increase productivity, and with Windows® Vista™, you get additional productivity tools — Windows
SuperFetch™ and Windows ReadyBoost™.
Before Vista, background tasks such as scanning and automatic backups were done when the system thought they would cause the least
disturbance. Now with Windows Vista, SuperFetch technology learns what applications you use most and prepares them by preloading them
to memory.
Another benefit of Windows Vista is Windows ReadyBoost, which is used in conjunction with SuperFetch. While adding system memory is the
best way to increase performance, Windows ReadyBoost allows you to utilize memory outside of system memory module upgrades. This feature
is ideal for use in systems with limited memory expansion capabilities. For instance, if your notebook has a maximum memory capacity of
1GB installed, Windows ReadyBoost allows for usage of a Flash memory device, such as a Kingston® DataTraveler® ReadyFlash as a more
responsive storage medium for ReadyBoost cache.
When a Flash memory device is connected to a Vista-based system, the AutoPlay dialog box will offer the option of using the device for
ReadyBoost. However, the Flash memory device must meet both a performance and a capacity threshold in order for Vista to offer the option
of using it for ReadyBoost.
Take full advantage of all the features that Windows Vista has to offer with a Kingston memory upgrade and a DataTraveler ReadyFlash
USB Flash drive enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost. With DataTraveler ReadyFlash USB Flash drives, storing, carrying, and transferring data
have never been easier. Take your work, music, or photos with you, wherever you go.
