ReadyBoost in a USB stick
Shane:
Wont hurt to try it and as long as you have 4GB or more you can turn the page file off. I have no system hangs at all, windows simply keeps it all in ram instead.
But go ahead and try ready boost. But if you have another hard drive it is better to put the page file on it since it will be faster than a usb drive.

Well, there is no other hard drive. There's an external, but not always connected.
The USB stick is always connected, keeps the uncompleted torrent files. So why not put there the pagefile.
Your system never hangs maybe because u have a good cpu and a good vga(forgot to say that my card is Sapphire HD 6450 2GB DDR3).
Now. As I said in first post, ReadyBoost is disabled in my system because of some disabled Sysmain... Do u know how to enable?
Shane:
Readyboost is tied into Superfetch, is superfetch enabled?

Hagen:
Superfetch was disabled (I heard that in ssd is useless, so Win7 turn it automatically off?)
I enable it and tried to start it but told me that 'windows cannot start superfetch in local system, error No2, cannot find the file...'
(?)
Shane:
Not sure, but iof your on SSD you really dont have a need for it.
In fact the only reason people dont like to have the page file on the same drive that is SSD is because SSD drives can only write to a sector so many times before it fails. Its in the billions of times I think. But a lot of people dont like that.
So the page file is a file that Windows would always be messing with and writing, thus why they hate it. Funny thing is the SSD drive is far faster than any normal drive or thumb drive, and you would want the page file to have the extra speed, but again people want these expensive drives to last as long as possible.
