3. Once the search is completed, on the toolbar click Save Search.

How To Speed Up Your Windows Vista Based PC’s Performance

Windows Vista features a new way to improve your PC’s performance: Windows Vista ReadyBoost. This feature lets you use flash memory on a universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 drive, Secure Digital (SD) Card, or Compact Flash to give you additional memory cache–memory that your PC can access more quickly than data on the hard drive. To take advantage of Windows ReadyBoost:

1. Insert a USB 2.0 memory drive with at least 512 MB of capacity.

2. When prompted, click "use this device to speed up my PC."
