I found this little oddity... eBoostr 3... I run vista, and thought "why would I need THAT? Readyboost is available". But man, was I wrong.

I suppose ymmv, but here's my experience (just by installing adding a bunch of software to the cache, and rebooting):

I plugged in a 16GB memory stick I had wasting space here... Assigned the whole drive as cache (even though they recommend only 1-2GB). When the cache was built, I manually chose firefox and a whole lot of the things I run at boot to be accelerated (settings/application priority) and rebooted expecting nothing. I was hugely surprised when I realised I cut the time from login screen to a responding system by HALF, nearly a 2 minute difference. I'm baffled...

The demo never expire, but allows for only 4 hours acceleration per boot. I can't really say anything conclusive about how it performs other than what I've said yet, but it seems as if it does a huge lot of good at first glance...

Oh, and for you XP users, it works for you too! Try it, it's free, and doesn't seem to install any evil spyware or such.

It feels almost too good to be true at the moment, so I expect you guys to figure out what's wrong with it.
