Is it worth using the readyboost feature?

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'm using a Kingston DT Mini Fun, I got it from DVD.co.uk for about a tenner, seems to do the job with Vista, don't know how fast it is though

these corsair flash voyager GT is ace

and i like the idea of this encryption app but haven't set it up yet as i don't really want to limit the 4gb incase i need it and don't have a PC where i can install the app.

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

I can't remember unfortunately, and since I can't remember the error, I can't google for it either. Anyway, suffice to say I uninstalled the software sharpish.
