Readyboost confusion

Does Vista readyboost require you to always insert a usb drive in order to enable this feature, or can i enable it once (upon insertion of the usb drive) and leave the usb drive plugged in.

Here is my problem, if i always manually insert my OCZ (readyboost ready, as per OCZ marketing), i always get the file cache. With the drive inserted and my pc rebooted, the readyboost file cache is gone and i have a blank usb drive. If is use my pc for hours, the drive is still blank. The drive properties says readyboost is enabled.

What the general concensus out there on this
 
In my Vista Ultimate RC2 machine, I have an SD card in the memory card reader that I use for a Readyboost device and it always works, even after reboots, without resetting the card. I dunno if USB sticks work the same or not. I also don't know if the final version works the same as RC2 or not.
 
are you sure your ocz drive is benificial to readyboost? i only ask because the 4gb ocz rally 2's pass the test but do NOT help performance (thanks whoever told me about that). Once i got a turboflash 1gb drive i noticed a dramatic difference in speed across the board. You should be able to leave the drive plugged in all the time, and in 'my computer' on mine it always shows 100% full.
