Readyboost works OK on vista but shouldnt be used to compensate for a lack of RAM. However if its on a laptop where RAM may be very expensive because of limited slots its an alternative. Just make sure the stick supports the throughput and its in a USB2 slot or else it may slow it down.

Vista to work properly (ie at the same speed as XP did) wants about 2GB, after that you dont see much improvement
