The title says it all. Basically I have a laptop with 2gb of ram and a bad processor. hooked up to this laptop is 2 external monitors, a wireless mouse and keyboard and 5.1 ch surround sound system. I only got the second external monitor the other day, but i am noticing some significant lag. As I am unemployed, therefore broke, i am contmplating using ready boost with the flash drives i have lying around my house, as i dont have the money to get new Ram, and my laptop has DDR2, and will only fit 4gb. Does readyboost work well? thanks
Is readyboost effective?
-
its probably because the graphics card cannot handle two external monitors
-
what?
thats probably why its lagging then -
Never really considered Readyboost to be any decent. And a USB to DVI converter.... Yeah, I can see why that may cause some possible lag, as well as out-dated drivers and updates may.

maybe you should try a more lightweight operating systems like a linux distro or something
that still might not solve the usb lag issue though -
Most software that comes with a computer is crap. Readyboost is crap and I have used it and not used it etc.... It's just not worth the time to worry about. I have seen it fail more then succeed.

ReadyBoost is part of the OS, not some shitty third-party bloatware. That said, I've never used it so I don't know how it performs."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."

ReadyBoost speeds things up if you are using alot of RAM, but that's it. It just takes stuff thats being swapped to the disk and puts it on the flash drive so it can be read faster later. It helps, but it's not going to help like adding more real RAM.

Readyboost doesn't really cut it for me but some people have said that it can help but I'm not sure. That USB to DVI seems like its not helping either
What OS are you running? -
