    Ok. If you have the drivers installed already, what then?

    I really don't understand. What are you saying regarding these tweaks versus installing the alpha IRST?

    Yeah, not sure I understand either ...

    You mean that instead of tweaking the registry, we can get the same result by using those alpha drivers?

    Where can I get them?

    Thank you


    Also it looks like you're using a SATA III controller according to your sequential results ... so maybe it's just this that is helping to boost your random reads / writes ? Anyway, I'm willing to try these drivers ...

    Yeah, + there's no download link on the page?

    And finally I had to undo this tweak as it was limiting the Turbo boost to 1.86Ghz instead of 2.73Ghz on my I7 740QM ...

    Applied JJB instead, I get similar results, but only when the CPU is under load ... that's good enough for me, anyway I don't think there's another solution right now, I like to keep the Turbo Boost :)

    nothing to explain, what dont you get?

    if drivers are installed this intelppm tweak is useless.

    or am i just the lucky one?

    So basically we were going round and round here. Please see my post here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sol...-chipsets-stamatisx-tweak-15.html#post8442477

    That is basically the first question that I had with you and you answered that you did not say anything like that. Now you're saying that with the alpha drivers installed, these tweaks are useless. Waaaaahhhh :confused:

    you can set difference settings and will have different Turbo Max. I remember I set smth to 93% or 95% instead of 100% and My turbo was limited only on 1x.
    Just play 15 minue with settings and then look at TB Monitor to monitor TB :)

    You're talking about JJB's tweak right? I have no problem with this tweak and the Turbo Boost, it's just the Intelppm registry tweak that limited my Turbo Boost!

    Anyway, finally gave a try at those Alpha drivers, and combined with JJB tweak, it works pretty well ... under light CPU load I now get 26M read and 54M write!

    Hopefully I won't get any BSOD ... we'll see :)

    This also did the trick for me on my dual-core M4400. Changing also the Processors start didn't achieve anything better, so I set that back to 3.

    My INTEL 520 240GB performance was improved by 60%!
    I've no got average 218 MB/sec (min: 198, max: 225) as measured by HD Tune; previously this was average 136 MB/sec (min: 96, max:178).

    Thanks all.
