About this tag
eBoostr is a third-party software alternative to Windows ReadyBoost that allows users to use USB flash drives or memory cards as additional system memory to improve performance. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover using eBoostr on older computers with limited RAM, such as upgrading a Windows XP machine with a 2GHz processor and 256MB of RAM to effectively run with 4.3GB of memory via a flash drive. Users compare eBoostr to ReadyBoost, noting that eBoostr can provide faster cache speeds and more detailed statistics, along with the ability to accelerate specific programs. The software is particularly relevant for systems where hardware RAM upgrades are not feasible, such as computers with limited memory slots or maximum capacity constraints.

    Windows 7 An alternative to ReadyBoost

    We all know that ReadyBoost in Vista was a major fail. The feature was much improved in Windows 7 but I still don't think it's all that it's shaped up to be. But there's an alternative. eBoostr is about the only other program available that does what ReadyBoost does. And it does it faster...
