    Say what? I've had Vista detect previous versions of the Cruzer Micro and ask if I want to set them up for readyboost...

    Great flash drive. Reads/writes much faster than my Kingston one.

    Great price for 8 GB and no caps to lose.
    My 4 GB SanDisk has been running perfect for over a year.

    Haven't been watching the stocks today, but seems like it could BE Black Friday today...

    Damn, that brilliant idea of putting all our Social Security funds into the stock market didn't get completed in time. F'ing Democrats.

    I printed out the Radio Shack ad and brought it to my local Circuit City. They matched the price and gave me 10% of the difference.

    I paid $19.49 + $1.66 sales tax = $21.17 out the door. Instant gratification!

    Also Circuit City has a great price protection guarantee should someone else or Circuit City sell this for a lower price than what I paid.
    Circuit City will refund 100% of the difference within 30 days of purchase.

    hey does this thing really do the memory boost for vista? I've been plugging in a lot of usb drives into my new computer (running vista 64) and it never picks up. Any suggestions other than buy it and try it?

    #17,

    It supports ReadyBoost in Vista 64 bit.
    Although there is no ReadyBoost logo on the package.
    My 4GB and now this 8GB support ReadyBoost even though I do not use it for that.

    http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1472

    If you don't see the ReadyBoost option when you insert the drive:
    Left mouse click Computer, Right mouse click Properties, Click the Ready Boost Tab.

    Furthermore, I deleted the U3 software on both drives. I like to use the drives full memory capacity and I'm not interested in the security U3 offers.
