erm, i know a workaround for 'unqualified devices'
first stick in the flash drive, go to its properties, and under readyboost tab, just check the box that says it'll check it.
go to regedit > local machine > Software > Mircosoft > EGM or whatever > under that, you'll find whatever flash drive you put in before > change 'statusvalue' to 2 and change the read and write speed values to like 1000 each. So far, the only difference i notice on the vista ultimate (512mb ram p4ht 3.2ghz w/ a 512mb flash drive) is extremely fast program launching.
I will try this!
