Add Intel Turbo Memory to eBoostr II

By zPedro | January 5th, 2009 | 7:09 pm

I tried E1000 sugestion and here are my results. I may say that I tried several configurations till this last one that is the best as we can see by its astonishing numbers. First: my Intel Turbo Memory is 1 GB sized. It reserves for ReadyBoost just an half of it. The other half I think is used by Intel Turbo Memory’s Windows ReadyDrive that continues enabled. So, only 506 MB are being used by eBoostr. My laptop has 3 GB of RAM so I use 768 MB for eBoostr System Memory. The 4 GB SD Flash Card now is being used for Windows ReadyDrive. The final results:

Direct access speed: 16.417068 MB/s
Cache enabled access speed: 225.981491 MB/s
Ratio: 13.765033
Absolutely amazing!

    Correction: Where I wrote “The 4 GB SD Flash Card now is being used for Windows ReadyDrive“, we must read “The 4 GB SD Flash Card now is being used for Windows ReadyBoost“

    well don’t get too hot about it. ram speed is much higher than that of any sd card or hdd drive. the speediest sd card can do 30mb/s, fastest mechanical hdds can do below 150mb/s, fastest ssd hdd 250mb/s, a ddr2 800 dual channel can do 12,8gb/s. as you can see there is a big difference. that speed is available only for what is cached. anyway the difference is noticeable.

    Now I’m just using RAM over Intel TurboMemory and the results are even better. About that the “speed is available only for what is cached”, as you say, Cosmin, I remember that eBoostr uses a “smart caching of frequently used applications and files”. What do we want more?
    I just made a test speed right now. The measures are as follows:
    Direct access speed: 10.932425 MB/s
    Cache enabled access speed: 443.738129 MB/s
    Ratio: 40.589180
    !!!!!!!!!!
