Readyboost works as memory it uses your usb device as extra memory nothing will be written to the device if thats what you use it for.To see its use unplug it goto system properties see how much memory you have then plug it in again now go back see how much memory you have it should increase depending on the size of the usb device.If it didnt change right click the usb device in my computer then select properties see how much space is used this is whats used for memory.

Is it normal for the ReadyBoost file's date modified value to remain constant? I would think it's constantly updating since it should be having information constantly written to it, but it's always the time of when Vista booted up or when I enabled the ReadyBoost drive.<br />

It's not a USB key with an indicator light, so there's no way I can tell if it's actually working.

ReadyBoost File's Date Modified Value Unchanging

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
