- RamBooster works well for the ordinary individual user, but there is a significant drawback if you are working in an environment where some users are not Administrators: RamBooster tries to write to the file "rambooster.exe.ini" after every operation or setting change. Non-Administrators cannot write to .ini files, so the program locks up and you have to kill it with Task Manager.
