I am using a SanDisk 4 GB Extreme III SDHC Card in an X61T 7764-CTO. It was a new blank card when I inserted it. Maybe yours has a specific format for your camera. Mine is formatted as FAT32. The ReadyBoost feature also works with faster SD cards such as the one I am using. I am using over 3.5Gb of mine as a ReadyBoost and it does appear to significantly improve the performance of application startups. Of course you only notice the speed improvement when you first install it (One gets use to any speed and eventually regards it as slow) but I definitely felt that some operations were much faster. If you find that ReadyBoost is already in use on your machine (Vista permits only one ReadyBoost device) you probably need to disable the ReadyBoost within the Intel Turbo Memory chip. There is an app on your program menu which can do this. The chip built into your laptop has a fairly small capacity (500Mb) so if you have a modern fast and large SD card you will get better performance there than from the built in chip.
Another angle is that Vista will only use SD cards of up to 4Gb. I don't know how it behaves with larger SD cards. Maybe your card is larger than 4Gb.
