Who says we dont innovate! (SuperFetch & USB)

  • Article

Demoed at PDC .... SuperFetch and USB memory sticks.

SuperFetch is a new technology in Windows Vista that makes loading programs faster.  It basically works out ahead of time what DLLs etc... are loaded ... and pre-fetchs them.  At least that is how i understand it :)

Now ... SuperFetch means that you need somewhere to stick that pre-fetched cache of DLLs etc... SO ... you could do this with main memory.  HOWEVER ... in Vista if you plug in a USB stick ... Vista will be able to utilise this memory for the SuperFetch cache!!! 

Now that is cool!  Who says we dont innovate!
