Can we format SD Cards with the exFAT format?

Can we format SD Cards with the exFAT format? I don't have one to test this at the moment but I plan to buy an 8GB card and use it with ReadyBoost (Windows 7) on my laptop.

"No problem with exFAT but whether you can use it for Readyboost really depends on the read/write speed of the card.

The device must be capable of 2.5 MB/s
read speeds for 4 KB random reads
spread uniformly across the entire
device, and 1.75 MB/s write speeds for
512 KB random writes spread uniformly
across the device.

Windows 7 automatically tests this for you when you plug it in.

There are workarounds but it kind of defeats the point as the performance would not be good enough to benefit from the extra cache."

Yes, I just formatted a 4GB SD card with exFAT.
