Need recommendation on Turbo Memory

[LaptopGuru]

I ordered turbo memory after the fact from buy.com (actually Amazon, but cancelled when they changed by ESD to 12/24). I have a bag 'o screws and such but would like a recommendation on install and drivers. It sounds like I should be installing the Intel drivers -- not the Lenovo drivers -- and disabling Hybrid Disk Power Management, is that the concensus?

Thanks!

So far, so good. I installed the Lenovo drivers and disabled the hybrid disk power management

Amazed by the number of screws that had to be removed to install the card.

I'm still not quite sure after reading a bunch of threads exactly where and how to disable hybrid disk power management. Can you be specific? Thx. Andy

Once you install the Turbo Memory drivers, they show up under Control Panel/Power options. If you hit "Change Plan Settings", "Changed Advanced Power Options", and open up "Hard Disk", you should see an option that says "Windows Hybrid Hard Disk Power Savings Mode". Make sure "On Battery" and "Plugged in" are Disabled. This option will NOT appear until you install the Turbo Memory/Matrix Storage Manager drivers.

No lockups or blue screens so far. My TM console says enabled for ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive. Did an upgrade to 3GB of RAM while I had the box open.

Perfect! Thanks. I would never have found that. Andy
