I am trying out the 3.0 beta in the hopes that it can replace Superfetch which I find quite annoying. SF will cache everything even very large files like my Ghost images and My Virtual Machine images. In otherwords it’s not selective.
I was hoping thateBoostr would allow me to only cache the files I want into RAM. While there is an exclude feature it is very difficult to set up a ‘whitelist’ by using an exclude list. I reccommend adding a whitelist feature that will only cache what I want to cache. I have no use for the Readyboost like function only SF.
Also, is eB like SF in that it gives up RAM if it is needed by a program or the OS?
So far I really haven’t noticed any real speed improvement. Is this because my programs are coming from disk instead of RAM? I just want to cache to RAM not to disk. Can this be done?

i have a 1 gb sandisk flashdrive i am using for eboostr. my question is ,can i clear the cache on my flashdrive ? program shows cache fill to be 100%.does this mean the program is no longer working because my cache is full,or does eboostr delete old entries as needed to clear space for new ones? i am currently waiting for an 8gb flashdrive from ebay with 7000kb read speed.if the cache fill on this drive gets full, will the program still work properly?

When I create a cache on secondary HDD, the eBoostr.dat gets fragmented too much on every cache build. Since the cache is stored on HDD, fragmentation will slow down reading.
I suggest that the eBoostr.dat is created in continuous area. Cache performance will increase a lot.

Hi,
I occasionally use virtual machines that can require quite a bit of RAM. The only way I can seem to free up the RAM I need is to remove the RAM cache, however when I re-add the RAM cache later, I have to fully rebuild it. It would be good to have an option that temporarily disables the RAM cache and frees up the RAM, but remembers the RAM cache contents so it can be quickly re-enabled without a full build.

What do you think it is the best way to use eBoostr to optimize execution of programs? Excluding all partitions and folders except “Programs” or “Program files”?

I may be missing something here, but I expected the speed measure tool to show some impressive ratios. When I ran it on Microsoft Word 2003 I got a ratio of 0.97! With Notepad++ the ratio was better at 1.27. What sort of ratios should I be expecting?
My setup is an HP running XP Media Center Edition SP3 on a Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz with 2.00GB of RAM. I am running eBoostr v3.0 (build 484). My external memory is a 4GB SanDisk Ultra II CompactFlash Card rated at up to 15MB/s. I have allocated all 3904MB on the CompactFlash but nothing else. Should I have configured it differently or am I misunderstanding the SpeedMeasure ratio?

Hello,
Just want to ask if anyone has encountered this similar problem.
I installed the latest beta (484) and create 4GB ram on my SDHC memory card. After rebooting eBoostr worked fine but when I shutdown and rebooting again, my display change to VGA and I couldn’t change any screen resolution or colour quality. However, after uninstalled eboostr my screen resolution went back to normal.
I am not sure if this is a bug or anyone has ever found this problem.
Windows XP SP3, 2.2GHz, 1.99GB RAM.

Hello,
I am going to report the same problem as in
http://www.eboostr.com/closedbeta/feedback/app-priority-settings-ignored-v30-b483
Upgrade to v484 doesnt help at all. Still the same thing. eBoostr does not cache anything on my D:\ partition. When I transfer my priority application to C:\ it is cached - normal behaviour.
I keep my favourite apps on D drive for a security and recovery purpose. Previous versions of eBoostr does not mind this scheme - worked properly.
It is 3 days since I upgraded to v484. I starting to be desperate.

At least in my configuration OpenOffice does neither apper in the application priority list nor is it possible to put it in by drag and drop. Has anybody elese recognized this?

the software work’s great, it is more complete of other version. very good is the option Application priority.
nice work.
My pc configuration is:

graph card Ati mobility radeon x1600 up to 512MB HyperMemory
SATA HDD
2GB DDR
and with eboostr is more speed
