Turbo Memory User Pinning Dash

Just got my T500 with turbo memory the other day and noticed that the user pinning dashboard wasn't installed. The turbo memory console was there but nothing else. Anyways, I found out that in order to get the dashboard you have to install the latest intel turbo memory driver and run it from a command window with a -UP extension. The driver from the intel website can be found here: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/itm/#anchor2
to install open a command window by typing cmd in the start menu,locating the driver install file and running it by adding the -UP extension. So the whole thing looks like "invm_enu.exe -UP" (the space is important, quotes not)

 

Awsome, I was wondering about that too. We have some t400's and t500's and I couldn't figure out why the Pinning wasn't showing up.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

wait you can enable user pinning on the 2gb model of turbo memory? I thought only the 4gb models had this feature

edit: awesome, it works. thanks! this should be added to the clean install guide

 

Cool, cool, cool! This was the one thing that made me a little irritated about the turbo memory when I got it. I hadn't read anywhere that user-pinning wasn't available on the 2gb version. This makes all the difference since I don't really trust Windows to decide what should be the most available to me the quickest.

THIS worked! Thanks so much for posting it!

 

Actualy I was just about to ask this question. So I just got my T500 too. How do i know if I have turbo memory? because im trying to clean install atm

 

Please allow me to ask what may be a stupid question. What is "user pinning"? I ask because I have ordered a T500 with Turbo Memory and want to know if I am missing something important.

Thanks.
