Flash memory
Don't have enough RAM to launch an application? If you have a USB drive greater than 256MB installed, a feature called ReadyBoost can direct Windows Vista to use some of that flash memory for added assistance. If you have a hybrid hard drive with built-in flash, Windows ReadyDrive can use that memory to save your desktop work session for fast access upon reboot.
