Will eBoostr with Ramdisk provide good performance improvement?

By Louie | December 30th, 2007 | 8:51 pm

A few days ago, I thought an idea of buying a new system with 4-8gb of ram and then create a 2-4gb ramdisk to use for eboostr.

I can imagine this would work greatly for an xp 64 system , but will it also give performance boost for vista? since vista has superfetch that preloads all ram anyway. I think it is also possible install and use eboostr in vista by setting compartibility modes, it would probably be vista compartible in the future anyway.

I tested this on my existing p4 3.0ghz, 1gb pc3200 ram, xp system, using 512 ramdisk with eboostr, the reading speed is around 10 times faster at 100MB/s (check speed). Applications seem to load faster but overall system performance decreases in large applications due to only 512 remaining ram.
