I’ve noticed that the current forum style organizes topics by date posted.
IMHO, for eBoostr 4 (hoping there will be one =D, and hoping it’ll still support Windows 2000), It would be great to see a forum like the MSFN’s forum instead, where topics are organized by last action made to the thread. (Pretty sure it’s phpBB2.)
A sticky for the Bug List can stay on top, be edited, instead of being sent out of view after a day or two.
Then again, that’s just my opinion. =)

If I dual boot and have eBoostr on both, then eBoostr uses the wrong files (cache) on the second OS.
An easy solution would be to make a settings file or something (in AppData folder) that contains the locations of each of the devices. Then when switching OS’s it would just read the AppData file on that OS and get the correct file.
I hope this can be impliemented by 3.0 release :)
Thanks,
James

I use Build 484. My questions
1.) Will there be a function in the list for addable applications to see in eBoostr before adding an application to the list who many RAM it uses/needs?
2.) Although I added RAM-hungry programs (data encryption) to the list of applications this seems not to influence the usage of cache fill. Independent of which programs are running, the cache fill will move between 31 % up to 92 %.
I hope this will help.

On a single processor laptop with a slow HDD, a cache rebuild robs other applications of needed resources, e.g. response times become sluggish. It would be nice if there were an option to make a cache rebuild a low priority (or background) task. This would be particularly useful when during an idle timeout cache rebuild the computer is “awakened” by a mouse movement. In this case, an option that automatically lowers the priority of the cache rebuild would allow the user to continue to work with better responsiveness from the computer. Thanks.

Hello,
I have now upgraded to Build 487. But still I see the bug in Control Panel which I reported earlier.
BUG 1:
When you do the steps below, you can see the same Drive shown twice in the Control panel. Please see the screenshot below.
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/2628/2drivesua0.jpg
Steps to reproduce:
1) When a USB Drive is being used in eboostr, ‘Hibernate’ the system without removing the USB Drive from the System.
2) Once the system is completely hibernated, remove the USB Drive from the system and start the System again. Once the Computer is completely restored from hiberantion, you will notice that the eboostr Control Panel will shown the Drive as ‘inactive’.
3) Now insert the SAME usb drive into the system and NOW THE CONTROL PANEL WILL SHOWN 2 SAME USB Drives as in the screenshot shown below.
BUG 2:
1) Even in the Build 487, I see that the Menu ‘Application Priority’ is still shown in the ENGLISH language itself, even though I change the language. For eg., change the language to ‘Esperanto’ and you will still see the Menu item as ‘Application Priority’ only.
Bug 3:
Except for the Introduction page, all the Pages are not complete in the ‘HELP’ pages.
Bug 4:
I still see the Copyright as for the years 2007-2008 only in the ‘About..’ screen. If this is STILL right, then you can ignore this. :)
Thanks.

Well after the annoucement of the latest release i just test a few different version again.
Build 473 is for me the fastest response delay, let’s explain what i mean.
Response delay on mouse click seems to be faster on 473 than all other release. I use a phenom quad core with ramcache disk plus in the 650 mb unused memory on xp.
I don’t know if this could be true or an impression

my memory operations per second went down from 5.2 to 5.1
using vista home premium x64 and 4x2GB DDR2 800 my score was 5.2
using Eboostr 3.0.0.486: Ultra Speed 8GB, Centrios 8GB-200X,
Retail Plus 32GB(16GB), ram 2GB my score is 5.1 but my system is
much more responsive.

Been running with 484 for a while, no problems at all. Upgraded to 486, went flawless.
This all running on WinXP Pro on Core Duo T7100 with 2Gb ram
I have some questions / suggestions though :
* It’s not 100% clear what good it is to have an application list… if I forget to add an application but my USB-Stick is not full (currently at 45% of a 4gb cache device) will those forgotten programs still be cached based on the disk-usage statistics, or not ?
* When creating a RAM-cache, it suggests 512Mb (out of 1410 available). Setting the slider to the lowest point gives me 256Mb. Pressing the updown buttons gives me a lower limit of 256Mb. However, when typing the amount manually, I can go much lower… I haveit now at 128Mb and everything seems to be running fine, but I do wonder if this is ‘dangerous’ or not. The help isn’t very informative but I read somewhere that for eBoostr to work I need at cache device with at least 256Mb of free space… (I already have 4gb on a USB stick, the 128Mb ram is merele out of curiosity)
* Not sure if this is easily feasible, but maybe the cache- content screen could show some ‘hit’ information ? Or maybe there should be some kind of hit-ratio screen showing how well/bad the cache is performing ?
* I think it’d be a good idea to have a ‘system info’ button on the about form that would allow copy-pasting some of the more interesting stuff to the clipboard in order to make the beta-feedback (and bugreports if ever) more complete/standarized… just a thought.
All by all I do like this program and will most likely buy it when v3.0 comes out… not sure yet though which version as I don’t need/use all options.

I have a problem resuming from standby with Vista Business SP1 with a Toshiba SP A300 laptop.
I’m using an SD 16GB as cache device, aleays in, and when the system resumes it seems working well but immediatly after most of the opened applications stop responding, can’t launch new applications and the system shutdown hangs in middle too.
I found that popping out the SD unblocks all stuck I/O, inserted again and eBoostr works fine.

Hello,
When I was using eboostr V2 in Trial Mode, My USB Drive was filled up 100%. I had a list of Exclude List files.
Now in V3 , in all builds so far, I have only 40% of my USB Drive filled up, with the same list of Exclude List Files. Is there a issue with the V3 on this ? Might be a bug somewhere. Please check.
Thanks.
