So should you invest in a SanDisk Cruzer? Well yes, the device is small, easy to carry around, and its performance is top notch. I have started to use the device on a day to day basis, and carry it around with me even when I do not have a PC with me.
As for ReadyBoost, if you are a laptop user with a shortage of memory, then I highly recommend that you pick yourself a Cruzer up and use it for ReadyBoost, it makes a real world difference, and is a welcome enhancement to the Windows OS.

A few days back I bought the Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 4GB edition, hoping it will give a readyboost to my windows vista. But when I plug in the device, vista carries out a test and shows that the device DOES NOT have the characteristics required for readyboost :-( dont know why! I am bit disappointed at this as I was expecting readyboost to help me speed up my system.

It works great on a XP system. There are NO DRIVERS for Vista. If you have Vista don't bother.

I got my self 'mini cruzer 2GB' and it works perfect with my desk top PC on windows XP but now I bought lap top with Vista Windows and it doesn't work at all so what's the trick if any one knows? I looked for drivers all over the internet and couldn't find one, does that mean I can't use my cruzer on my lap top? WASTED MONEY IN'T IT?

Just called SanDisk support. A patch to the Cruzer Micro 4GB is being released 'before the end of 2007' that will allow the Cruzer to work with Vista. As others have posted, mine worked fine on an XP laptop and doesn't do doodly a Vista laptop. Hopefully cured in a few weeks.

In Vista, go into the equivalent of
My Computer and look at your flash drive. Right click on that drive and go to Properties. There is a tab entitled ReadyBoost. Go to this tab, and select Use this device for ReadyBoost. Done!

This works
C:windowsinfINFCACHE.1 is most likely corrupt and should be deleted.
You will need to edit its file permissions to give Full Control to the
User Group before you will be allowed to delete it.
