eBoostr 2.0.1 addresses issues related to the compatibility and overall stability of eBoostr 2. The update includes fixes that impact the following areas: upgrade installation, automatic rebuild process and compatibility with other software packages. The eBoostr 2.0.1 Update is highly recommended for all eBoostr users.

- Boot and Work Faster -
eBoostr makes Windows load faster, significantly reducing the time your computer needs to boot.

- Launch Your Favorite Applications Faster -
The more often you use a particular application, the faster it’ll perform. eBoostr gathers statistics on what applications you use and how often, optimizing their performance by pre-caching their files and data and allowing faster access speed and reduced delays.

- No Hardware Upgrades -
No need to disassemble your PC in order to upgrade its performance. eBoostr gives your PC a noticeable performance boost without costly hardware upgrades. Just plug one or more flash memory drives, install eBoostr and say “Yes” to speed up your computer.

- Utilize Available RAM Better -
eBoostr features a SuperFetch-like solution and makes use of the otherwise wasted free RAM to store frequently accessed files and data. Every time you launch you favorite application, it’ll load much faster because of the preloaded data in RAM. If your computer has over a gigabyte of memory, you’ll see a significant increase in speed and responsiveness.

- Laptops Benefit More -
Speed up your laptops even more! Upgrading a laptop is difficult and costly, but not with eBoostr. Notebook hard drives are slower than their desktop counterparts, thus they benefit more from the use of flash memory with eBoostr and reduced hard drive activities.

- Save Battery Power -
Work longer with a battery. Less hard drive access results in reduced power consumption, which leads to improved battery life. Work faster and longer on your Windows XP laptop with eBoostr.

Memory Cache

If you have more than 1GB of RAM installed you can use some part of it to place a cache file. Computer RAM has an extremely high read speed and a zero seek times–thus you can get up to 50x higher overall random read speed. We do not recommend you to leave less than 1GB of RAM available to the system after adding a cache. However you can try this on your configuration, may be your applications installed will be comfortable with the amount you leave.

Exclude List

There were numerous requests for this feature. Now you are able to specify any location or a file mask to be excluded from caching by eBoostr. Be careful with this feature! If you exclude the “C:” location, then all files located on this drive will not be cached–thus none of the system files or applications.

Power Save Mode

This feature is very useful for notebook owners. When your laptop is on battery power, eBoostr will automatically go into Power Save Mode. This mode disables an automatic cache rebuild and redirects all file requests to cache devices. Flash drives consume much less power compared to “power hungry” hard disk, increasing your battery life time.
