FlashFire 0.99 for XP (32-bit)

[zartoven]

IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!
If you are using FlashPoint beta5 version, you MUST UNINSTALL it before installing FlashFire !!!!
If you do not know how to uninstall beta5, do not install FlashFire.

FlashFire 0.99 is now available here
It is functionally same with FlashPoint Beta 6 version, but now it has an installer.

Is this for XP 32-bit only or for XP x64 too?

No, this is only for 32bit machines.
Does it required?
I can compile it, but I am not sure that it will work or not.
(I think, I need to set up an x64 testing machine.... but.... )

We're really need it for 64-bit XP.

Thank You!!!

Windows XP x64 uses the 5.2 kernel, like Windows Server 2003 (Windows XP 32-bit uses the 5.1 kernel), however I think it should work, you could compile it so users can test the build.

This is what I would do:

• RENAME "FlashFire 0.99 for XP" TO "FlashFire 0.99 for XP (32-bit)"
• ADD "FlashFire 0.99 for XP (64-bit, x64) - Experimental"
• RENAME "FlashFire 0.99 for VISTA / Windows 7 (32Bit)" TO "FlashFire 0.99 for Vista / 7 (32-bit)"
• CLOSE/REMOVE "FlashFire 0.99 for VISTA (IA64) - Experimental (Will disappear)"
• RENAME "FlashFire 0.99 for VISTA / Windows 7 (x64) - Experimental" TO "FlashFire 0.99 for Vista / 7 (64-bit, x64) - Experimental"

So you will have:

• FlashFire 0.99 for XP (32-bit)
• FlashFire 0.99 for XP (64-bit, x64) - Experimental
• FlashFire 0.99 for Vista / 7 (32-bit)
• FlashFire 0.99 for Vista / 7 (64-bit, x64) - Experimental

... clean, complete

Agreed.
Thank you.

The vast majority of peeps who switch to W7 will opt for the 64bit installation so they can use all their memory..just a thought.

Hello, I see an improvement, with atto disk benchmark the write red bar' numbers go up like crazy from 4MB/s to 140MB/s with a test of 32Mb, i don't even know if it's correct or ridiculous :)

I have FlashFire 0.99 for XP (32-bit)
is there any way to install or enable ffire on second ssd disk ?
ffcntl.exe only tells me ff for disk 0 is enabled, on other disk it says "not installed"

anyway, thanks for this software

I think 32MB is not right because it nearly reflects the speed of the 32MB Ram used for FlashFire.
Try again with a test of 256MB.

Thanks for your reply the7

I had no free space on c: ssd so I checked with 32m.
With 256mb test, the numbers are more "realistic".
I can see an improvement in write speed with ff for the tests 0.5-128.0, speed is multiplied by 3-4 aprox
The rest, 256.0-8192.0 I see it loses performance with ff, from ~13MB/s without ff -> to ~ 7MB/s with ff enabled more or less
