MB:ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus
CPU:Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
SND:Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio
VID:Nvidia Geforce XFX 280 GTX XXX Edition
WIN:Vista Home Premium x64 SP2 beta 6002
HD:Seagate 250GB x2 raid (stripe)
RAM:8GB DDR2 800mhz SLI Ready (4X2GB)
34GB Eboostr 3.0.0.490: Ultra Speed 8GB, Centrios 8GB-200X, Retail Plus 32GB(16GB), ram 2GB
AVG Resident Shield Service is reading almost every file that eboostr reads (avgrsa.exe)
ebstrsvc.exe pid 1780 is using 2 threads and 0.25 average CPU during cache build. thats 0.0625% of my q6600 cpu.
total cache rebuild on my system takes about 1 hour per 8MB
seems much slower than 486. can more threads be used for caching?

No bugs so far.
Using the last build on a Samsung NC10, Windows 7 Build 7000 and 1 gb ram caching on a 4 GB SDHC.
Massive performance boost, no problems.
Keep up the good work!

Cache hits are back up to pre 486 levels!
The meter maxes out much more often, and the overall ratio is now 11 bars.
It’s be nice to see an option to bring a larger 128×128 widget onto the desktop to show cache hits. (Just a bigger tray icon.) Would be awesome!
Possibly skinning support in the future?

With build 487 system memory (512 MB) cache fill almost always was at 100%. After upgrading to 490 it remains at 11%. I didn’t rebuild the cache because I want to see if eBoostr makes it by itself. Otherwise I will make it or reduce system memory to 256 MB. I have 3 GB being used by Vista 32. I’m having troubles with MS Word but I think eBoostr has nothing to do with it. The only way to prove this is installing previous version.

On every boot of the computer, the eBoostr control panel shows that no cache drives are active until I launch My Computer for the first time. I am pretty sure that eBoostr is not functioning as I neither see the animated icon nor feel any speed boost before the drive is properly shown on the eBoostr control panel. It seems that for some reason I have to access the cache drive before eBoostr recognizes it because accessing the flash drive using any program’s file dialog seems to fix the problem.
Using build 490 on Windows XP SP3, tried removing and reinstalling but the issue still persists.

I updated to 3.0.490 and got a BSOD 30 minutes later. I was only using Firefox to browse the web at the time. Firefox is one of the programs in my applications priority list.
I’m currently uploading a 7z compressed memorydump using YouSendIt.

when i rebuilt the cache after installing 3.0.490 i noticed the progress bar indicated 100% about 15 to 20 seconds before the screen
refreshed. i am wondering if this is a windows issue or can it be changed to represent the actual progress of the task.
btw i love the high percentages of cache being used now (3.0.346 was 31% 20% and 35%, 3.0.490 is 100%, 71% and 31% for a total of
21,749MB)

I’ve been using build 483 for about 3 weeks. The system consists of
Compaq nc6120 laptop with 1.5G RAM
30 GB HDD
1GB SD memory as eBoostr cache.
It’s a company supplied laptop with little hope of upgrading RAM and lots of customer support programs installed, so my use is keeping the core programs fast.
One of the things I noted was after moving some files from my laptop HDD to a USB HDD for archiving, the cache contents contained both the source and destination files. I excluded the destination drive path, but there seems to be no way to exclude external drives generically.
I have included 3 Microsoft Office applications to be boosted, but don’t see any Office files in the cache content unless I double click an entry in the cache list.
Double clicking on an entry in Cache Viewer also brings up a window (Statistics Viewer) with a column labeled weight… what does this value mean?
If I drill down the newly opened Statistics Viewer windows, it seems to be infinitely deep. The files seem totally unrelated. The cached percentages alternate between 1 or 2% and 90+% as I drill down.What does this mean? Is the cache file corrupted? I have tried removing the device and re-adding it.
AutoCad 2007 is installed, but I don’t get it in the list for optimization.
Cache fill is only 5%, even after rebuilds, delete add, etc.
If I stop eBoostr service, open eBoostr control panel, it naturally tells me that the service is not running. At that point, when I bring up services, the start button is greyed out, but not the stop. Right-click and restart does work.

OK, here goes the last round of testing. Build 490 containts the following fixes:
- Service failure with custom statistics database location (on Vista) ( # )
- Temporary files are now correctly deleted ( # )
- Duplicate devices listed in the Control Panel fixed ( # )
- Occasional BSOD on Windows 2000 with USB cache devices fixed ( # )
- Updates in Portuguese (both) and Finnish translations
Today we are announcing code-freeze so there will be no changes in the code except critical bugs fixes (which I hope will not be found.) Help file and translations will be updated before the release on January 28th.
Previous build 487 can be downloaded from here.
And the current version 490 goes here:

Hi all,
I did several trials with previous builds, this one has not crashed (BSOD) yet which is a good thing ! And overall PC performance seems improved. It sometimes takes up to a few days before a crash occured before, so it’s too early to say it’s OK on my system but I sincerely hope this is the good one.
I just got some kind of error message related to the license, but which now seems to have been converted in a V3 license for 1 year.
More if something happens…
