1. Right-Click your USB and in ReadyBoost tab select "Do not retest" so that it is checked

2. Go to start

3. Type in       regedit

4. Run the app

5. Go to Local Machine > Windows > Windows NT > EMDManagment > Your USB Flash disk name

Tip: Just search for the name of your device

6. Change Device Status to 2

7. Change read and write speeds to 1000

Note: This is meant mainly for devices that should be compatible but for some reason aren't. You can try this with slower ones too but it won't run as fast.

I tried this a while back on a very fast dual channel OCZ drive without luck, so it seems to only work for some. Strangely, my average speed Sandisc Micro works. Go figure.
