    Hi,
    I have a (128gb) Solid State Drive in my laptop right now.
    I was wondering if I were to use Readyboost with a 4gb SDHCII, would there be any performance difference?

    Thanks

    the difference would be so ridiculously small that even plugging the usb in would be a waste of time

    The page file on your SSD is already faster than the SD card would be.
