The x200s I purchased did not come with turbo memory (74663HU), so I purchased a 2GB card to install myself, which arrived yesterday. I installed it but cannot see the device in Vista (32-bit) no matter what I do. I've installed the turbo memory drivers from both Lenovo and Intel. In neither case did the driver installers even install the turbo memory console. The short of it is, the card is simply not being detected. I followed the instructions on Intel's site to verify existence via device manager and do not see it there either.
Is it possible that I installed the card into the wrong slot? The x200s has 2 mini PCI slots, one of which was occupied by the Intel 5100 wireless card. The wireless card is installed in the slot closest to the flash drive, where the turbo memory is currently installed in the slot right above it on a horizontal plane (I wish I took pictures). I didn't move the wireless card, just installed the turbo memory into the free slot.
I know for sure it's seated properly, as I removed and reinstalled it 2-3 different times to verify and screwed it into place. So I am at a loss and figured I would post here for advice (preferably not spawning the continuing debate about the value of the technology itself).
Thanks all.

Unless you purchased the turbo memory card from Lenovo, it will not work due to BIOS id checks. Also, the turbo memory must be installed in its specified slot in order to be properly recognized and approved by the BIOS.
