• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Jump Drives / "Ready Boost"

About 2 weeks ago I bought 2- 8 gig jump drives. I plugged one in the front slot and was immediately asked if I wanted to use that drive as "Ready Boost", I choose yes and was amazed that it smoothed things out. I have since moved it to a rear slot and it still amazes me.
FSX is smoother too with no lags, or hesitations or jumpy pans. Everything is just smoother.
I may be wrong but I think it uses that drive to place swap files and it's faster than the hard drive is/was.
I think I paid all of $6.00 each for them but I would try for maybe 16 or 32 gig drives next month.
Try it, It just may be a benefit to you.
If you are using a SSD or Flash card already this may not work.
 
If you have 200 gb why are you even looking at this? Would it be that you are trying to give everyone a virus? MalwareBytes blocked a millisus cookie from you on my post.
I think you need to be blocked.
 
Joe, the administrators have checked YoYoSim for malware. With the tools generally used to check and prevent such issues YoYoSims doesn't appear to be or cause and problems at all. Rest assured all is ok for now. Yo Yo is a big participant at SOH and I am sure he would want to know if there were any problems.
 
Why does he have to jump into a thread with a remerk of "Oh, I have 200Gigs, is that all you have is 8" just to place cookies on my machine? It's not alright.
How many more people or companies place cookies in threads? WHY !!!!!!!!
I don't want to tracked by anyone or any company especially in a thread on SOH.

I will make it a point to not buy any products that Mr Yo-Yo has to sell.

 
Ok Joe you have made your point and thanks for the heads up and warning. With that I am closing this thread. SOH continues it vigilance by some of the best in the business to protect us from malware. At this point no problems have been found with YoYoSims.
