  2. ReadyBoost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

    The core idea of ReadyBoost is that a flash memory (e.g. a USB flash drive or an SSD) has a much faster seek time than a typical magnetic hard disk (less than 1 ms), allowing it to satisfy requests faster than reading files from the hard disk. It also leverages the inherent advantage of two parallel sources from which to read data, whereas ...

  3. Software bloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat

    These elements may include whole programs, libraries, associated configuration information, or other data. Performance may deteriorate overall as a result of such remnants, as the unwanted software or software components can occupy both hard disk memory and RAM, waste processing time, add disk I/O, and cause delays at system startup and ...

  4. List of RAM drive software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAM_drive_software

    The Free Edition (limited to Windows 32-bit Win2000 / XP / 2003) is able to use 'invisible' RAM in the 3.25 to 4 GB 'gap' (if your motherboard has i946 or above chipset) & is also capable of 'saving to hard disk on power down' (so, in theory, allows you to use the RAM disk for Windows XP swap file and survive over a 'Hibernate').

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commit_charge

    The Windows Task Manager utility for Windows XP and Server 2003, in its Performance tab, shows three counters related to commit charge: Total is the amount of pagefile-backed virtual address space in use, i.e., the current commit charge. This is composed of main memory (RAM) and disk (pagefiles).

  6. Memory paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_paging

    Windows can be configured to use free space on any available drives for page files. It is required, however, for the boot partition (i.e., the drive containing the Windows directory) to have a page file on it if the system is configured to write either kernel or full memory dumps after a Blue Screen of Death. Windows uses the paging file as ...

  7. Windows Vista I/O technologies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista_I/O_technologies

    By default, the necessary files are loaded into main memory, but using a feature called ReadyBoost, Windows Vista and Windows 7 can use alternative storage such as USB flash drives, thereby freeing up main memory. Although hard disks may have higher sequential data transfer rates, flash drives can be faster for small files or non-sequential I/O ...
