Subsequent loads did not improve much. </p> <p>Turning off Superfetch gave a further decrease in first and subsequent load times.</p> <p>My PC does feel snappier because eBoostr caches a lot of system files as well as programs.</p> <p>Boot and shutdown times did not change by more than a second.</p> <p>Other benchmarks like Passmark Performance Test or PCMark Vantage did not show any difference.</p> <p>More setup tips:<br /> It is important not to use a USB cache only memory.</p> <p>It is also important to go to Edit -&gt; 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>To get these sorts of SSD performance increases from a US$40 software solution is pretty amazing. </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/great-performance-on-my-windows-7-system#post-1071 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:09:36 +0000 Zorro 1071@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>AMD Dual 4Ghz<br /> 4G System Mem<br /> 250G SATA HD</p> <p>Cached:<br /> 1G Memory<br /> 4G SD Class 6 Turbo</p> <p>Results:<br /> Direct Access 15.9MB/s<br /> Cached: 203.3 MB/s<br /> Ratio : 12.8 !!!!

Currently, I am running the latest beta of VIPRE Premium 4. When eBoostr 4 Beta (latest build) is installed, an AV scan terminates with an error (but a very vague message). When eBoostr is uninstalled, but with no caches created, a scan finishes without incident.</p> <p>Anyone else see this kind of behaviour? </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/build-539-crashed-my-system#post-768 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:41:46 +0000 wayne 768@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>win7 x86, upgraded my build 538 which had been working fine, to 539. selected autoconfig, it for some reason decided to add my d: drive (sata hard disk) to the cache list. i allowed that in addition to my memory and usb drive. system crashed after rebuild, on restart would not boot. </p> <p>managed to get into safe mode and remove eboostr. booted fine. reinstalled build 538, system crashed on reboot. went into safe mode, looked at d: drive, deleted the eboostr folder. rebooted OK, seems my system does NOT like having eboostr cache itself on the sata hard drive. it could be because the drive is encrypted with bestcrypt and possibly the bestcrypt driver is loaded after eboostr's?? </p> <p>anyhow, reupgraded to 539 and am being careful NOT to select my D: drive as a cache drive. seems OK for now... </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/not-a-valid-win32-application#post-737 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:01:37 +0000 TKdoc 737@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>I very recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate (Dutch). I first installed EBoostr 3.0.1. But then Office 2007 became instable and failed.<br /> Now I downloaded the trial of Eboostr 4. But installing is refused by Windows 7, complaining it is not a valid Win32 application.<br /> What's wrong?<br /> Tom </p> http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/topic/adding-wmp-to-acceleration-list#post-45 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:16:27 +0000 lowcountryrev 45@http://beta.eboostr.com/forum/ <p>Eboostr 4 will not let me add Windows Media Player to the acceleration list. I am using Windows 7 RTM on an Acer Apire One netbook.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
