A random collection of flash drives

I tested this collection of USB flash drives, collected over the past several years, to see which ones would work with the new ReadyBoost memory caching feature in Windows Vista.

Most mfrs list maximum sequential read times, which doesn't help with ReadyBoost.

Go to the original post and scroll to the end, where you can find a list of drives that have passed the tests.

Any quick way to determine ReadyBoost numbers/capability before buying flash drives? Any correlation between price and performance?
Thanks,
