Hi all, I just wanted to share something that may be useful to some people experiencing random "system freezes" when leaving Turbo Memory enabled. Until now I have been using the official drivers from Lenovo (1.5.0.1013) and randomly my T61 would freeze with no apparent reason, especially while working on battery.

After some research, I found this link:
http://support.asus.com/download/downlo ... uage=en-us

You can download both 32 and 64 bit drivers for Intel Turbo Memory (version 1.6.0.1034). After extracting the ZIP file, just go to the DRIVER folder and run the Setup file. Both the Turbo Memory and Intel Matrix Storage drivers will be updated.

After rebooting I verified that both ReadyDrive and ReadyBoost were enabled, and no more freezes have occurred since! Active Protection System, which I suspected before to possibly be the cause of the freezes, is working fine as well.

Hopefully this will help some people that were having "freezing" issues with Turbo Memory.

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit?

32-bit

The problem I have with Turbo cache is my computer decides not to boot every now and then. It just locks up on the windows start up screen with the progress bar in motion.

I have to reboot it several times to get it to finally start up. It should blames the Turbo Cache as it has to check disk it sometimes.

Anyone having that issue?

I tried to install the ASUS drivers with 64-bit Vista on T61p and the install got "the blue screen".

It's not hybrid sleep. I disabled mine 2 weeks ago, and have had 2 BSODS since then.

I got tired of it and removed the turbo memory chip this morning. No performance loss has been detected.
