    Pretty interesting. Funny thing is I have turbo memory on my T61 and it loads like the one in the video without the turbo memory. I get the "resuming windows" load screen then the login; whereas, in the video the one with turbo memory seems to go straight to the login.

    sp00n how do you know that the difference between the two is Turbo Memory?

    What I see in the video you labeled "1GB + Turbo Memory" is a laptop suspending to RAM. What I see in the video you labeled "1GB Only" is a laptop suspending to disk.

    You know, looking again, it does look like the one labeled with Turbo Memory is put in sleep mode; whereas the other one is put in hibernate.

    The video was just taken from Thinkpad Forums.

    Just to clarify, I think we agree but are using different terms. I prefer to use "suspend to RAM" and "suspend to disk" because I think these terms are unambiguous as to what the computer does but, yes, they would correspond to the terms "sleep mode" and "hibernate".

    Did you notice the new driver posted for the T61 Turbo Memory? Did this resolve your problem?

    I agree with the terminology you used lemur and yes that's what I meant.

    To answer your question Donsell, I haven't installed the new T61 Turbo Memory driver yet, but maybe will later tonight. I wouldn't say there's a problem currently with how it is now though. I was just trying to point out that the two videos appear to be doing two different things (one is suspending to RAM while the other is suspending to hard disk).

    Right now if I were to suspend to RAM (sleep mode), I would get the same result as the video labeled "1GB + Turbo Memory", which is not the same thing as hibernating in Windows Vista.
