Running Build 484, Vista Ultimate
Actually no news is good news, I have been up for two days runnign Vista Ultimate (upgrade) on 2 gig lexar drive.
Unlike alot of other reports having no problems.
50% increase over no Boost,
35% increase over same drive used as ready boost.
Only feedback is catch is only at 79%, not sure what this means.
Version: 3.0 build 484
No Windows 7 support yey, is there an ETA?
there should be a benchmark test of with and without eboostr working in a difrrent systems,
i would be happy to help with that
When %SystemRoot%\Temp doesn’t exist, eBoostr can’t build cache, eBoostr service is stopped automatically when I click Build cache button
Here is the event log

Hello,
The Same Pen drive is shown twice in the Control Panel. I have attached the screenshot below.

Steps to reproduce this:
1) Add a Usb drive and build the cache.
2) ‘Hibernate’ the System without removing the drive. After the system is hibernated, remove the Drive from the system.
3) Boot the system again and restore it from the Hibernate.
4) Insert the SAME Pen drive to the system and now the eboostr Control Panel will show two Icons with the same Name and Info.
Thanks.
First, all the versions have worked pretty well my system (HP HDX 9200,4Gb, 64 bit vista ultimate and 32 bit vista home premium )
But, there is a funny bug by downloading the program in firefox; you can not load it by clicking, you have to open it in different window or page with left mouse button, then it works.
Another small problem is that all my sdhc cards (4gb and 8 gb, Kingston, 15mb/s) seems to be significially slower cache devices than even basic 1 gb usb sticks. The speed difference is about 3 to 5 times faster
OS: WindowsXP SP3
RAM: 4096MB (2945MB Windows Managed, 895MB Unmanaged RAM, 256MB VGA-Bios-etc)
Eboostr: 3.0 (Build 483)
booting(sec) : measured between powerbutton press – hdd was idle after windows was fully loaded
shutdown(sec) : measured between windows shutdown button press – computer power off
hibernate(sec) : measured between windows hibernate button press – computer power off
resume(sec) : measured between powerbutton press – hdd was idle after resume
As you can see i’ve tested eBoostr with system memory and ramdrive using the unmanaged ram. They are the same RAM in physical, but the given results are very different. The problem why booting the computer with eboostr.dat on Ramdrive takes much longer is, that the content of the Ramdive which also holds the eboostr.dat file is loading after Windows and all it’s programs has been fully loaded. So eBoostr can not boost the bootup sequence. For this and other cases it would help that the user can choose cache target.
Also include, exclude management could be much better, maybe dir browsing of hdd and checkboxes on folders and files, example here:
Like every build since 479 (no problems with early betas), this one crashes my computer within minutes to hours. It’s not even a BSOD – just reboots without writing a memory.dmp file. I’m 100% sure it is eBoostr as it will crash sooner or later without fail when it is installed. When it is not, it never crashes.
It’s Windows 20003 SP 2.
Installed version 483 and had no problems. System is running faster & using less resources – CPU & RAM.
While testing I added an additional 4GB card- which brings me up to 8GB managed by eboostr. I’m not sure I see a difference in the overall performance. However, the second card I added is a 4GB SDHC, and it performs better than the 4GB SanDisk Cruzer that I installed first.
Eboostr performance for flash memory istalled:
4GB SanDisk Cruzer – Allocated Size 3847 MB; Random Read Speed 10112 KB/s
4GB Adata SDHC – Allocated Size 3920MB; Random Read Speed 13279 KB/s
**Getting ready to install version 484, but before I do I will test to see if removing one of the flash drives makes a difference in oveall performance.
