I figured the "Windows Experience Index" base score of 3.6 (graphics) was
somewhat on the low side, as all the other scores were closer to five. Then
I read a blurb about "Readybost" and my heart rate went up with the
excitement. I quickly slipped in a 2.0 GB Sandisk memory card, followed the
prompts then refreshed the WEI index to a surprise... WEI dropped from 3.6
to 2.0 and in the bargain, I lost the transparent windows switching Aero
feature completely (which I love).
I spent the better part of day trying to figure out how to get my
performance back to 3.6 and restore the use of Aero, but to no avail.
Restore, that's the key word here at this point. I wasted my time all day
and finally ran Windows Restore to put my computer back to it's original
state.
If anyone has had a similar experience or has used Readyboost successfully,
I'd appreciate hearing what you went through.

PS. My new Dell Inspiron E1705 notebook was configured with 2.0 GB RAM from
the factory. I should add that I am no stranger to the computer. I have been
in the industry for twenty years.
