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.
486 best version so far…working perfectly for me
except tray icon does not show
update: after couple reboots tray icon working again
also like the new cache build…no longer shows deleted files
publish this version as new RC
I’ve been beta testing for a couple months now on my dual core AMD XP service pack 3 system. I do notice a considerable speed increase. Most noticable when opening up Lotus Notes or any of the MS Office software!
The one drawback is the 4 hour limit. Seems when it times out, it leave the system in some weird state that everything slows down. It becomes much slower than it was before I installed eboostr. What’s up with that?
Other than that problem, I think this software is a GEM!
Hello.
Does “eBoostr 3 Beta Build 486” work on “Windows2000 Pro SP4”?
A blue screen goes out immediately after the cash construction was done, and the operating system restarts.
Hello,
Yesterday I had a random read speed for my USB sticks at +- 13000. this morning after boot I only have 9600??
Otherwise the 486 is running well.
thanks
v3 b484 ran smoothly without any problems. I noticed no obvious difference in system resource use between this and the prior version.
I’ve installed eBoostr 3.0 Build 486 in my girlfriend’s Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M1451G with Windows XP5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3, RAM: 1024 MB, Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz. Everything was freezing (Google Earth, Spybot, Rocket Dock applications, …). Also ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 configuration panel refused to open. After uninstalling 486 and installing Build 484, everything went back to normal. I’m using a 1 GB SanDisk Extreme III.
First measures with only 28% cache fill:
Direct access speed: 9.485269 MB/s
Cache enabled access speed: 18.463310 MB/s
Ratio: 1.946525
