   Actually, regardless of your setup OR how much ram you have, at the very least this will reduce disk usage. I'd rather burn a flash up over time than my mechanical disks. I have read that you can use 2 flash drives together in a type of raid array. I wish I had bought another. Obviously, if ALL your disks are ssd's you would never need this unless you have very little memory.

   Boost is the word. Whatever vector, support, application, even system boot, boosts everything. If you have plenty of RAM (4GB+), keep 1GB for eBoostr and let it handle heavy launches from its memory, if you have little RAM and a USB stick, let eBoostr handle your files and all your system will be 'lifted'. I've tried running the system without it ("I wanna be free!) but noticed immediately a far less responsive machine. I love my beloved but I like eBoostr and hot-dogs.

   @roj:
   OK, I can waste $40 on this or spend the $40 on REAL RAM.
   And I should buy this why?
   THREE stars for a gimmick of dubious value.
   
   Uh it isnt meant to work as substitute ram, it is meant to speed up things that are usually loaded from disk by reducing some of those drastically and in fact it will work better if you get more ram for it. For example my photoshop takes 23 seconds loading after a reboot, with eboostr it's reduced to 4-6 secs instead helping me doing what i want faster. If you have ram to waste use it on a bigger memory cache for eboostr it is really worth it.
   
   I love the way eboostr 3 lets me give priority to apps and specify how much ram or space in flash drives to use unlike the windows Vista solution.

   I have the perfect scenario for eBoostr: using Windows XP on a Thinkpad X41 that is maxed out with memory. Initial testing was impressive, with a noticeable speed improvement in start-up, loading most apps, and task switching. However, over time, the system slowed to a crawl. I tried everything -- switching USB drives, disabling write cacheing, rebuilding the swap file. Nothing worked until I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. The same thing happened three times, each over the course of about 3 to 5 days. I contacted eBoostr tech support twice and have received no response at all. I hope they appreciate my money more than I like their software.

   Anyone expecting this program to give them an unrealistic boost in system performance is nuts. It's just not designed to do it. It's designed to give you a way to utilize more of your system resources towards speedier programs, and less equipment wear, and I think it does a good job.
   
   I've been using this on my Aspire One. It helps performance by a small amount, maybe 10% (need a faster SD card), but it also does keep the machine a little cooler and the battery life a little higher. Nothing major, but with a machine that has two SD card slots, using one for this makes a lot of sense.
   
   I am anxious to deck out my home desktop with 8GB of RAM and dedicate some to this program as well. Most of the time, I won't use all the RAM, so having it available to play around with for something like this might work pretty well.
