I have tried to run Ready boost from several SD cards without much luck. Does
anyone have any idea which SD cards will support Ready boost?

I have successfully used the SanDisk Cruzer 2GB USB thumb drive. It is
designed for Ready boost. I don't think you can use SD cards for that.

You can use SD cards, or just about any type of flash memory, as long as it
is fast enough.

The real trick is the drive has to be fast enough AND inspite of what you might
hear it needs to be 1 gig or better.... I use 1.86 gig of a 2 gig SanDisk
Micro on my 2350 processor Laptop.... works very well. Lappie has 2 gig
memory already and the speed increase as long as I use 1Gig+ is noticeable.
