Fanc圜ache is also more efficient than windows built in caching technology, its even faster than ReadyBoost using an SSD drive. Fanc圜ache loads before the OS so it improves boot speed similar to how SanDisk ExpressCache functions, except Fanc圜ache has Tremendously better Caching performance versus just SanDisk ExpressCache Alone. Especially.something called "fancycache"Īctually Fanc圜ache is an amazing program, it is still beta currently and we don't know what pricing will be like, but I've gotten as high as 99% hit rate with Fanc圜ache using 16gb of Ram for a Ram Cache plus a 32gb SATA3 SSD drive as an SSD Cache, the combined operating together has me running at near SSD speeds with my 3TB 7200 RPM 64mb cached drive.

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

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.
