I have a 4gb flash drive and I was trying to readyboost my comp with it to see if it made anything faster, but it came up with this error-

None.

The flash drive has to have certain read/write speeds to be ready boost capable. Your's is apparently too slow. Link to the model?

Here are all of newegg's windows readyboost supported usb drives

but imo the readyboost is not really that good unless your on a laptop where ram is really hard to upgrade.(or perhaps your crazy and you already have maxed ram and somehow want more :bleh: )

ReadyBoost becomes less effective when you have more and more RAM. It's been shown to boot muchfaster for computers with 512MB of RAM, but the boost shrinks signifcantly with 1GB of RAM.

Haha well i have 3.5 gb i just wanted to give it a try lol, cause I run alot of high end programs at the same time, sometimes 3-5 really memory chewing programs(adobe CS3 suit, Autodesk 8 Inventor, iTunes, along with firefox and word processors and stuff.)



None.

It won't make your programs run any faster, it'll help them load faster. Also, it's reccomended that you have 1-2 times the amount of flash memory than RAM. So if that reccomendation is actually a requirement, that would be the cause of your problem.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
