I would like to see a graphical representation of cache content, in a block format.
In Example, the program WinDirStat:

I’ve been running the latest beta (3.0 build 479) on my Acer Aspire 4520G laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit for the past few days without any hitches.
Earlier, I upgraded the nVidia video driver to the latest WHQL from the nVidia site which of course prompted me to reboot, so I did. After rebooting, a number of startup programs would error out and not load saying “bad image”, so I rebuilt the cache from the eBoostr control panel and rebooted again. The same problem happened, startup programs would not load giving the same error message.
What I did was disable the cache device, removed the cache device from the eBoostr control panel and rebooted again, after this all programs loaded properly. I have now just added the cache device again and rebuilt the cache on it, and its working fine again.
I just thought I should point this out.
Thank you.
I’ve been using eBoostr daily on two indentical CF-M34 Toughbooks. Both are used in field on battery. I’ve done different tests swithing batteries between them with one having eBoostr and one without when I first started using eBoostr. Now both units are running eBoostr, because I’ve seen a consistant 30-40 minute increase in battery use with eBoostr. Cold weather in area has decreased that to 30 minutes max. because of the HDD heater. Good job! Looking forward to adapting a solidstate HDD to see how far I can push these mini-harden laptops. thanks!
Please help when I use Vmware to start a virtual machine XP OS. It does not work.
In the cache viewer statistics window, we can set the “Weight” of certain files, in effect increasing its priority. However, I don’t see a way to set the location of that file in the cache. For example, suppose I’ve set up 3 cache device, RAM, HDD and Flash disk. I would naturally like my frequently accessed apps to be located in the RAM cache (if possible) so it can be accessed the fastest, followed by FD and HDD. Does the “weight” setting already take this into account, meaning higher priority files are put in the highest speed cache first? If not, then (here comes the suggestion… :)), I would like to suggest that this sort of logic to be put in the prioritizing mechanism and/or provide a manual way for user to fine tune the cache location of specific files. Thanks
In battery mode, my laptop freezes when it comes up from hibernation. It seems that only happens using eBoostr “Power save mode”. Maybe it is not compatible with my Asus Power4Gear eXtreme?
I don’t understand the way eBoostr “Power save mode” operates. If it is a driver I think it’s natural some kind of incompatibility with Asus Power4Gear eXtreme.

Hi, I have a 4GB Cache on a USB Stick but eboostr 3.0 build 479 only reports a 3% cache fill regardless how many applications I select to get boosted and how many times I rebuild the cache.
Displaying cache content shows it mainly caches a few windows system files, but nothing elese.
With eboostr 2.x this was at 100% caching many apps.
OS: WinXP SP3
First of all, I like to say this is wonderful product, way better than the built-in ReadyBoost of Vista.
I was wondering if the finished product can include the option of hiding the device (i.e. USB flash disk, memory card, etc.) being used as the eBoostr drive. I’m currently running the latest beta version (3.0 build 479) on my laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1 using a 4GB Transcend class 6 SDHC card which is mounted on my laptop’s built-in card reader, and it seems to be running great without any hitches. However I was planning to make this a permanent thing on my laptop, and since the memory card will be used solely for this purpose it would be great if it could be hidden from the rest of the system while configured as the eBoostr cache device.
It’s a minor item, not a necessity but a “nice to have” feature, I mean not having it would not stop me from using this product, but again, it would be nice to have.
Thank you.
