MDO Ltd. announces the release of eBoostr, a complete replacement for Microsoft ReadyBoost technology for Windows XP. Upgrade the performance of your PC without upgrading its components. Get ReadyBoost-like technology in Windows XP. Overcome ReadyBoost limitations and use up to four inexpensive flash devices to speed up your system. Add more speed to your PC without upgrading! If you could improve the performance of your computer by upgrading just one item, that would be memory. Adding more RAM speeds up Windows and applications, allowing the system to access the hard disk less often. This is especially true for older PCs with 256 or 512 MB of RAM, and laptop computers with slow hard drives.

Upgrading computer components can be costly, and is not always possible. Buying and plugging a USB flash memory stick, on the other hand, is neither expensive nor complicated. That is why Microsoft developed a new technology called ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost uses flash memory plugged into a computer to enhance operating system responsiveness, decrease loading time, and improve computer performance. Unfortunately, Microsoft ReadyBoost is only available in Windows Vista. Since the day Microsoft announced its ReadyBoost technology for Windows Vista, the company made it clear that no ReadyBoost upgrade will be released to support Windows XP and older operating systems.

Blah.....no free version?
USD26.10 tat means around RM80

Uh got trial

Agree, should move it to the Software section. I was going to create a new thread about this yesterday.
Anyways, I've try the RC version and it works great! I load up Crysis Demo and the loading times decrease about half, however during gameplay theres not much noticeable activity on my thumbdrive; Windows startup is around 1.5X faster.
IMHO, this app rocks!

thx for the info guys.. mayb can try on my ram anemic old laptop

why it does not support USB 1.1?
shud move this to software section

USB 1.1 = 12mbps
USB 2.0 = 480mbps
see the diffrence? no point to utilize a thumbdrive if its have only 12mbps of peak transfer rate, which is equal to 1mega byte per second, which is slower than old IDE harddisk.

i hope one day windows for pc can boot up like windows mobile - maybe install everything in the memory instead of HD now that memory are so cheap yet very high capacity

RM80 is really too expensive.

compare to free feature from vista, this product price...(i think i better buy anti-virus product )

IMHO i think this doesn't serve the purpose, since this software is for older pc which some of it didn't even come with USB2.0

the software beats it own purpose XD

Anti virus. u got try?

ReadyBoost doesn't seem to be a obvious performance-booster in my 2GB RAM Windows Vista either (that's the reason why I never enable it on my flashdisk)...

So I'm not too sure how much it can help in non-Vista boxes

ready boost really help alot in my 2gb vista system.....
my computer really not that lag after i put in 4gb ready boost pendrive..
i try put 1gb but no different. but 4gb got different alot

iianm, readyboost only helpful for those who have 512mb ram.

yah... i also on 512 but now upgraded

i just came back from Pc Fair (KLCC) and bought ram

RM50 = 2gb ram
me damn happy and now woot... i wanted to use e-booster liao but then now... NO NEED LOR...

r u sure? 2gb thumbdrive or ram?

its either 1gb or 2gb
and its physical ram (not usb)...

and its DDR2 ONLY

u also not sur eu bought 1gb or 2gb?

not that i not sure

its that i asked about DDR2 rams
but i buy is DDR1 (sucky mobo... argh...)

Added on April 12, 2008, 11:01 ambtw before u enter hall 1(ya i think before H1) got a little booth where u can get the PcFair Guide Book

SURE DDR2 NICELY LA...Use real rams=)

The software dun seem to improve my pc, anyone got positive feedback?

no difference?

eh i tot need put pagefile at usb there?

Can tis support Xp SP3 aldy?

Yes, it can. If you've got 1GB and more of RAM, it's no difference.

IMHO, readyboost is useless. Get more ram as it is cheap.

DDR1 not very cheap

I also dont use ReadyBoost. cuz my rig is fast enough currently. Plus ReadyBoost installs into your USB.

ReadyBoost is very useful if you've got less that 1GB. Try using ReadyBoost on a computer with MORE than 1GB of RAM then everyone will say that it's the worst app built-into Vista, duh... Btw, there's no problem partitioning a partition in your USB drive cause *most* (assumption, I maybe wrong) of us here should be using USB drives with a lot of memory.
