Windows already uses the unused ram as cache anyway and using other software to do it is not a wise idea. They are both a waste of money for what she does. Here is the GPU and CPU in case there are some more obvious upgrades that I have overlooked:ĬPU - Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20GHz She does nothing hardcore on her computer, the regular browsing and MS Office stuff. $50 - Going from 2 x 2GB/800MHz to 2 x 4GB/1333MHz RAM of which 1-2 GB would be used with Fanc圜ache. $100 - A decent 120 GB SSD (Her computer has SATA 2, but I don't think it has room for a secondary drive, maybe I can remove the CD bay).Ģ. I have tested this a little myself on both my SSD and HDD, but my system is already quite snappy so I can't notice much of a difference, if any.ġ. I'm suggesting her to buy a 120 GB SSD, but she is reluctant to spend $100 so I'm thinking of suggesting 8 GB of RAM for $50 instead and then use 1-2 GB with Fanc圜ache.

FANCYCACHE UPGRADE

While at it, I'm considering getting her to upgrade a component or two.

FANCYCACHE INSTALL

Given same size of system memory, the latter has a higher hit-rate.įanc圜ache can utilize the OS Invisible Memory on 32-bit Windows as a cache medium.įanc圜ache can utilize SSD (Solid-state Drive) as a cache medium, as ReadyBoost does.My girlfriend's three years old Sony Vaio laptop is getting really slow so I will perform a clean Win7 64bit install on it in a couple of weeks. Windows caches all data, while Fanc圜ache can cache on behalf of a specified volume/disk in which users are interested. Some applications bypass the file-system level cache. Why do we need another cache scheme since Windows OS has already implemented a file-system level cache?

Supports volume/disk with proprietary file system.

Supports caching for volumes or entire disks.

Supports OS Invisible Memory and SSD (Solid-state Drive) as Level-II cache.

Supports Write-Through and Write-Deferred modes.

Supports caching strategies: Read/Write Caching, Read-Only Caching and Write-Only Caching.

Supports LRU (Least Recently Used) and LFU (Least Frequently Used) cache algorithms.

Hence, the more requests can be served from the cache the better the overall system performance is. Otherwise the data has to be fetched from volume/disk. If requested data is contained in the cache, this request can be served by simply reading the cache, which is comparably faster.

FANCYCACHE DRIVER

One of the Fanc圜ache's core components is a storage class filter driver which resides in the storage stack, intercepting I/O requests for data on volume/disk. Fanc圜ache caches data on a logical block basis (offsets within a volume/disk) while windows cache manager caches on a virtual block basis (offsets within a file). It improves system performance by transparently storing data into memory such that future requests for that data can be served faster. Fanc圜ache for Volume is a handy and reliable application designed to cooperate with system memory to provide data caching for volumes.
