Has anyone been able to get Readyboost to work (ie: it says the usb stick is 'fast enough to be accepted') with an PCI USB 2.0 card? All of the Pentium III systems uses USB 1.1 onboard, so I add an PCI USB 2.0 card to it, but then readyboost still says the stick is too slow, while if I plug in the same stick in an P4/c2d etc with an USB 2.0 it works fine. So its not the stick I think.. Anybody tried it? edit: what about firewire flash sticks? the OCZ seem to have shown up in google searches, but the product was vaporware?
You're pentium 3 is bottlenecking the usb. Meaning the p3 cant keep up with the data flow from the usb 2.0 card. Just my 2 cents. . . . . . . .
