    Do all models have it because mine doesn't seem to even though I have an SSD?

    BIOS only shows Quick and Diagnostics and I can't find where to download the "Rapidboot Extreme utility".

    Are you using the prelaod? This may be of interest.

    Yea I had read through that already and it didn't help.

    Like I said I don't have the option in BIOS and I can't find where I could download that utility.

    This option hasn't been offered but a couple of weeks. I was under the impression that the only way to get it was with a factory configured machine.

    I have a T420s I ordered and received last fall. I would like RBE but if it's only offered with Windows 7 32bit, it's a non starter for me and anyone else using more than 3GB of memory.

    Another brilliant Lenovo move.
