    One of the tips is to use "Readyboost", which is using an external USB flash drive as a HD cache. I'm not sure when it was introduced, but it may have been Vista. (USB 1 and 2 weren't fast, but flash drives had lower latency than HDs.)

    Seems anachronistic, but I guess that it still is available.

    Readyboost?

    Please, no!

    If you wish your system to go faster, kick it off a cliff.

    Readyboost can be useful for RAM starved systems.

    I agree @eLPuSHeR, although not so much theses days as newer systems have more RAM initially and RAM is quite cheap to buy!

    If you really need to. With today's systems it is truly superfluous.
