I am using a Dell Dimension 3100 and am testing EBoostr 4 beta 538. My system has a 2.4ghz Celeron 2gigs of system ram. As such, I thought there would be no improvement in loading speed of programs but I was wrong. I also tried various 4gig USB flash drives and received the following. With a generic non-Ready-Boost drive, I managed a 2.368 improvement in data access. With the Ready-Boost compatible drive I received a 2.987 speed increase from Eboostr. I am thinking this program makes a difference no matter what configuration and or hardware you are using. I am also impressed with the loading times of frequently used programs. The loading time is conservatively twice as fast as without your program.

I had given up on my old Dell 8100/1G /400M FSB and was about to junk it but eboostr with the boost file on a usb 2.0 flash allows me to run XP-pro SP3 for basic mail and as a home server(Apache) for my network. For best speed use a separate usb controller on the PCI bus not the built in controllers. But watch when using a IDE drive with boost that also has a the page file as the system can start thrashing Especially when the page file is split between IDE drives on the 2 controllers. I did not notice much difference on my 2.6G core2 quad/4G but the system memory/bus and SATA drives are much faster. Testing eboostr ver 4.0 b536

I recently bought a Dell 537ST mostly for my son to play games so I could finally use my pc again. A few of his games weren’t running as fast as I thought they should so I started with some minor overclocking first. This had a small effect but not much. I was intrigued by eBoostr and gave it a try. After tweaking the application priorities for a while and experimenting with different amounts of SD cards and flash drives I was really impressed! I have to say I am one happy eBoostr user…not to mention the 3.2 ratio I was able to get is awesome!
Love that ratio

So Installed the latest 4.0 beta release. Trying to configure my system memory to be able to use the hidden memory since I have 4GB and running 32-bit. This leaves me with 767MB to cache on the system reserve. I go to apply and it asks me to build the cache file, I say yes. Nothing happens.

I think it would be great if – in addition to the exclude list – we could have the opportunity to restrict eboostr to only cache selected apps/files/locations.
The scenario would be to use the full eboostr cache to prefetch/cache specific applications only. Especially games or video apps would profit from this.

Sorry for being slightly off topic : I keep having BSOD where eboostr V3 is involved, when dismounting a virtual drive created by Drive Snapshot. WhoCrashed says it’s eboostr.sys, while the BSOD says it’s a regular windows file, sr.sys, that caused it.
I have installed the lastest 4 beta version, and will see if its keep happening (after a full backup ;-) ). If I don’t report any problem, this will mean that V4 solved this.

I have just upgraded from 536 to 538, once installed it detected my unmanaged memory & opted to use the unmanaged plus normal system totaling 2gb leaving 2gb for normal use (XP sp3). It built the cache & began to use, I minimized the application to the system tray & my system froze, I attempted a couple of reboots but after my programs loaded my system kept freezing. I uninstalled in safe mode & re-installed without using hidden & all is ok, this is the same outcome as I had with build 536.

Hey i was wondering could you guys include a graph or a table that would show how your proformance is increased over time comparing if you would not have eboostr.

New build 538 that was just published has some major updates in “unmanaged memory” detection and initialization code. This build contains only these fixes. Those of you who have issues with unmanaged memory, please confirm if your problems are fixed or not. Thank you.
Sorry for the long delay with this release :)
