Can anyone link to a good 4gb drive that is relatively cheap and works ok for readyboost?

Specs:

etc...

Back on XP for the time being. Will probably move over to Vista when i upgrade next to dual/quad core.
Did you upgrade the nvidia driver to something new like 160.x? The early drivers where pretty horrific, known to cause slowdowns.
I just got the latest from the nVidia website which are:

ForceWare Release 158
Version: 158.18
Release Date: May 2, 2007
WHQL Driver

Yep that is good. 160.x is a beta release, but 158 should give you good performance.
