Asus N10J Performance Upgrade

I was debating buying a mini-PCIe SSD card and putting my pagefile and possibly enabling Readypoost. Would this improve system performance? Is it worth the money?

Depends but no. That is my answer lets see if I am wrong and why? I think while access time is good throughput sucks? Also SSD with limited writes and the frequent modification to that would make it not ideal? People in SSD/HDD systems are putting pagefile on the HDD.

I am surprised you are not asking about getting rid of pagefile all together? While I do not think that is a good idea pagefile has become somewhat of a dinosaur. It is needed but barely so unless you are running short of RAM you could darn near put it on a floppy. You need your virtual memory to be seen but it does almost nothing. But you do need it so do not disable.

I vote no!

Which OS are you using? I ask this because the comp comes stock with XP, and it would make no sense in looking into the ready-boost area.

Furthermore, splitting a flash drive to be used as Ready-boost device along a file device can cause some performance deficiency, as I experienced it.

I'm using Windows 7. I mean, the netbook is pretty fast. I was pretty shocked at its performance tbh. The 9300M goes a long way to do that. But hey, if there's a way to make it faster, then I'm all for it. After all, the Atom 1.6GHz is not the fastest CPU...

An SSD would be a good boot drive, but solely getting one for Readyboost is a waste of money. The whole concept of Readyboost is fairly weak to begin with (powerpack can tell you why in detail) and paying the premium for an SSD solely for that purpose just isn't worth it.

You don't need to muck around with ready-boost under Windows 7. Use the SSD just for an overall bump in the performance.
