Using the extra RAM
By zPedro | January 31st, 2009 | 5:46 pm
I hope one day you can achieve the way to able eBoostr to use “the extra RAM beyond the 3.25GB limit on a 4GB or 8GB Windows XP/Vista 32 bit system”, as we can read in eBoostr help (hope too it will be completed very soon!). Meanwhile, with RamDisk Plus I’m using a 720 MB RamDisk that has 2.068.755 KB/s random read speed (plus a 496 MB Intel Turbo Memory used by eBoostr – 32.137 KB/s). The results are fantastic and I keep all 3 GB of my system RAM.
I want to thank you very much, eBoostr Creators, this great opportunity to be an eBoostr tester and, of course, the license you kindly gave to me.

Using an unmanaged system memory for caching is really a good idea. Mike may probably comment on this, as I know they’ve already made a research.
Thanks.

Yes. I am using now 752 MB, that is, all unmanaged memory my laptop has. I think it is possible to enlarge it very considerably if upgrading RAM behind the present 4 GB. I didn’t try it yet, but it seems it is possible to create a bigger RamDisk using both unmanaged and managed. I think 1 GB eBoostr cache was a very decent option for my system at the moment.
I thank you.

Correction: “beyond” instead of “behind”. Ups… sorry.
