I missed this one when it first appeared, but the ever-on-target Ed Bott has a nice piece on his ZDNet blog about using flash drives with Vista's ReadyBoost function. The main caveat is that many flash drives are simply not fast enough to work with ReadyBoost; at least one intrepid soul has begun building a database of devices that pass or fail.
It is possible (at least, it was during beta) to hack the settings that control how fast a drive has to be to be used with RB, but I'd bet you can no longer do this.
