Slow Cache Memory Speed

Just repaired a problem with cache memory. I am using a SanDisk 1GB SD3 card in a Compaq nc6120. Here’s the chronology;

1) Formatted 1GB card as FAT32, installed build 483. Random read speed was around 7 Mb / Sec. Tested for about three weeks.

2)Installed build 490. Removed device, re-added, allocated, built cache. Got warning about slow speed (122 Kb/Sec).

3) Removed device from eBoostr, had Windows do a repair with fix sectors and fix file system checked.

4) Added device to eBoostr, same speed problem.

5) Installed build 491, the rolled back to483, same speed problem.

6)Reformatted SD drive. Speeds back up to 7+ Mb/Sec.

7)Reinstalled build 491. Speeds OK

My question is, why is the reformat necessary? It looks like something on the SD card got corrupted that a disk repair couldn’t fix. From now on, I will go through a complete deinstall device / reformat device / upgrade eBoostr / reinstall device.

BSOD with 490

:-((( Just had a crash (BSOD) on my XP Pro last evening with build 490 running.  I’ll upload the dump asap.  It happened right when I asked (politely) TrueCrypt 6.1a to unmount 2 volumes, one being on a USB key, the other one on an USB HDD.  I tried to use whocrashed from Replendence Software, but all I got was that there was no dump, yet there is one !

2 days to expire & Build 491 …

Hi,

I am confused as to what is expected of us now that v3 has been announced. I am now getting the message of “2 days to expiration ….”

Is beta3 build 491 really just the new v3.0 that has been released?

What are we expected to do now that the beta is ending, with only 2 days to expiration of the license? Are we getting a full license for being beta testers?

Please advise.

Thanks.

John

Production build 491 Help corrupt

I’m not sure if it’s my PC or not but being very eager to look at the complete help file I noticed that several pages remain blank. For instance the “Getting Started” page is blank.

eB491 test with 16Gb USB stick question?

Hello,

On my XP SP3 system I am testing with 400 Mb RAM, 1 USB 4Gb FAT32, 1 USB 4Gb FAT32 and 1 USB 16GB NTFS. After building the cache all seams normal for the RAM, the 2 4GB USB . For the 16Gb NTFS USB the cache is only at 59% BUT the random read speed is “n/a” ??

Why? Due to the fact that the cache is not filled at 100%?

Can you please explain again what I need to do to use eBootr in DualBoot XP and Vista?

Thanks in advance

Emile

Changes from 490 to 491?

I was wondering if it would be possible to post the changes from Beta Build 490 to Release Build 491.

The new features posted on the main site are changes between the previous version (2.0) to the new release (3.0), however it does not mention anything regarding any fixes/changes/improvements between the last Beta build and the released version.

Exclude list does not work

Hello

I am using build 484 for awhile.

I use my USB thumb drive as eBoostr cache location and I have a RAM drive (mainly use as windows and application cache location) in my laptop as well.

Besides using my USB thumb drive as eBoostr cache location, I also store files and applications in the drive.

In the light of this, i include both the USB thumb drive as well as RAM drive in my eBoostr exclude list.

Today I check the eBoostr statistic and find that files access for these two locations are cached. Is it an unknown issue? I have not tried the latest eBoostr version as there were feedback in the forum about various issue of the builds after 484. So I am not sure if this has been addressed in the latest issue.

BTW, will the license expiry of the beta be addressed?

thanks

eBooster 3 Beta Much Better after New Memory Stick

A couple of weeks ago I reported that I was having problems with the eBooster 3 beta. The database on the memory stick (Coby Electronics memory stick) appeared to have become corrupted. After removing the beta and the memory stick, I discovered that the problem was with the memory stick itself. After plugging it in to my Vista laptop, ReadyBoost didn’t want to have anything to so with it – it said the device was too slow. the casing also pulled off of the memory stick when I tried removing it from the USB slot. After purchasing a new Kingston memory stick and re-installing the beta, eBooster has been running very well. Am looking forward to using the release version.

Beware of lesser-known brands of memory sticks! you get what you pay for!
