Depends how much physical RAM you've got. If you have 1Gb then it's definately worth it, if you have 2Gb then it will only occasionally be used and if you have 4Gb then nope.

I've played around with it on my laptop when it's docked its only got 1gb and tbh when i'm using it docked with readyboost and without on battery i seriously can't see the difference... Definately not enough to even be worth plugging it in and out everytime anyway, i'd rather use it to store data

I consider those apps to be evil - the Lexar one nearly broke my laptop while I was on holiday.

£100 down the swannie I've tried using the readyboost thingy on my desktop and on the lappy, both have 2Gb RAM and couldn't notice any discernible difference.
