If you don't get back to us, is it safe to guess it didn't work?
If my machine blows up I will send smoke signals. ;-)
I installed eBoostr 3 fifteen minutes ago. The immediate change is not dramatic. I'm using it in conjunction with a 4 gig flash drive stick. Moving around the internet it seems a bit quicker but I don't know if that is just me wanting it to be quicker. I'll stick with it for a while.
Juan, if you have more then 2GB of RAM, anything you notice will be placebo effect. RAM on a USB stick basically moves parts of your page file and commonly launched dll's etc from hard drive to USB, acting as a cache.
Would it make a difference on microsofts flight simulator?

I don't know if it would improve the flight sim or not. I took the eBoostr 3 out a half hour ago and it looks like Durka was right. I can't see any difference. I would sue if it hadn't been free....;-)
Well, at least you know first hand.
I tried out ready boost when Vista was released and I could not notice any difference at all.
You could be adventorous and create a RAM disk, where you basically partition lets say 512mb of system memory and mount it as a local disk. Mind you though, any data stored on it will be destroyed when you reboot the pc.
I see reports of d.i.y types modifying their computers to hold solid state hard drives (8gigs or so ) to hold the o/s's and/or permanent data ,to some good reports.Kinda like the netbooks.
solid state drives are quite fast, depending on the mode. Intel has a couple nice ones but the price point is pretty steep. I hope to get one in the new year at some point.
