Anybody else install this:

The latest driver for Intel's Turbo Memory, as well as the SATA driver?


If so, when you open up the Intel turbo memory driver console, (start->turbo, you'll see it) is ReadyDrive active? Mine became disabled and grey'd out.....

I dont have any first hand experience with this, so this is merely speculation, but according to this article: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/in ... spx?i=3009, the Turbo Mem console is fairly inaccurate/useless (this information is actually from Intel themselves). I'm not entirely sure if you can trust the console or not, but it certainly seems wrong that the drivers would be disabling it, so maybe this is an issue.

Anyone else have experience with this?

I noticed this after installing the new driver as well, but after another reboot it then showed up as enabled and seems to have stayed that way ever since.

I have read from other people that it sometimes takes several reboots for it to enable.

I can verify the reboot thing. It was disabled upon installation, but after a reboot, it was enabled again. -- Ken
