For these tests I used <a href=""http://beta.eboostr.com/download/"">eBoostr 4 beta build 535</a> with a 2GB RAM cache on Windows 7 x64 RTM with 2 x Vertex 30GB RAID 0. I used <a href=""http://www.passmark.com/products/apptimer.htm"">Passmark Apptimer</a> to time application loading. <img src="http://pxve3w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pvWAoI3ZpSkOdcPMG0-zF7SjH8sPajjvZIithMTiFFB5kbEQcbGMbiP8xWpl8ez_tLCGfjuBjtFlqi1-3O9JvyCaqlHoDko3l/eboostr%20Superfetch.PNG"> The results show that if you have an SSD it is for the most part better to have Superfetch turned off although some programs will suffer. Adding an eboostr RAM cache decreased first load times by a good margin. Subsequent loads did not improve much. Turning off Superfetch gave a further decrease in first and subsequent load times. My PC does feel snappier because eBoostr caches a lot of system files as well as programs. Boot and shutdown times did not change by more than a second. Other benchmarks like Passmark Performance Test or PCMark Vantage did not show any difference. More setup tips: It is important not to use a USB cache only memory. It is also important to go to Edit -> Show cache content in the control panel and right click on entries for programs you don't use often, as well as C:\Windows\System32\catroot, and exclude them by path. This gives more cache space for programs you do want to speed up. Then rebuild the cache. Check with the eBoostr Cache Statistics program in your start menu to make sure the programs you are testing are cached nearly 100%, right clicking the item and increasing priority if they are not, or they won't be faster. To get these sorts of SSD performance increases from a US$40 software solution is pretty amazing. Zeioth on "TUTORIAL: How ratio works" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/tutorial-how-ratio-works#post-756 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:11:01 +0000 Zeioth 756@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ The first thing you should know, is the maximum amount of ratio that your computer can reach, because this changes on each computer. For this, you must use only RAM memory in eboostr (any amount will work, I used 512 MB), and to make a "Speed test". The result will be maximum speed that you can reach on eboostr. In my case, is ratio 21.0: <img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/1zlw4qq.jpg"> But RAM memory is expensive, and we need it for other uses. So, what we must pretend is to get closer to this number, but using different devices; Flash Memory, SSD, ESATA, hard discs, or little amounts of ram. For example, this is my config: <img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/v8ll53.jpg"> I've used a 4GB hard disk, 16GB esata Flash disk throttle, and 1GB RAM. But you can use different config depending on the devices that you have, and how many files you want to cache. I hope that I helped with this topic! Please, feel free to ask or correct this in whatever is needed, I hope that we all can learn about this. Notes: -Ebostrs will cache the most used files in the fastest devices. Using little amounts of RAM usually means improvement of speed in the system. The rest of devices will cache heavier files, like games or programs. -Is important to don't open programs, or play music while you're doing the "Speed test". Once you change the device, or created the cache, I recommend you to wait some minutes, or it could give wrong results.

This may be a compatibility problem.

I tried the Speed Measure Tool with Opera and let it run 5 times. Background programs were closed and Antivirus deactivated. The ration is just 1.18. Shouldn't it be more? I have Win 7 Ultimate 32 Bit with 4 GB installed. <a href="'http://imgur.com/KJLEK.png'"><img src="http://imgur.com/KJLEK.png"></a> Thanks & kind regards chooky on "Post up your results!" http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/post-up-your-results#post-333 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:30:16 +0000 chooky 333@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ I thought it might be interesting and informative to make a little database to show what sort of results people are getting. Please include as much relevant detail as you can. Include cache size and media, eBoostr version, OS, installed memory, CPU and speed,Storage details, readyboost or superfetch enabled/disabled. Copy this template into your post and fill in the details. eBoostr version: OS: CPU: PC RAM: C: Drive: eBoostr cache: Readyboost: Superfetch: Speed check: If you have the test result window selected you can press CTRL+C to copy the details and CTRL+V or paste to copy them into your post.

On v4, however, the cache-enabled access speed is around 200-220 MB.
