    I have a question regarding the Intel Turbo Memory.
    I ordered for it, but selected Windows XP as my operating system.
    I'm aware that Intel Turbo Memory does not work with Windows XP, but I've read on the Lenovo site that under XP's device manager there will be a Yellow Exclamation (!) shown. Which in my case is not there.

    I just wanted to make sure that the Intel Turbo Memory card is actually physically installed in my system or not or its just disabled.
    Is there any other way of confirming this without actually opening up my laptop?

    I thought you might be able to help me here.
    Thanks in advance

    the best way is to physically open it up and take a look.

    It would be crummy if they decided not to put it in after specifically choosing it.

    uh oh...perhaps ask for a refund?

    they should have at least installed it in incase you ever decided to switch to vista...then you could use it...

    all it is is a piece of hardware

    be happy you dont have to deal with the problems the Turbo Memory causes
    (after you contact Lenovo and get something for the screw up) :D
