    Yesterday night I downgraded from Windows Vista to XP and so far I don't regret it one bit. System speed and general responsiveness (startup, shutdown) has gone up significantly. Anyways, straight to the point:

    I know that Intel Turbo Memory has only been designed to work with Windows Vista, and that I probably won't be able to make it work properly in XP. However, would it be possible to either 1) make it register as a regular flash drive so that I can store files on there, or 2) make it register with the system and somehow manage to store my pagefile on there (to emulate the way ITT works on Vista). Right now it shows in my Device Manager as a "PCI Memory Controller", and I haven't found any drivers to "activate" it yet.

    Any suggestions as to what I can use this (now) seemingly useless piece of hardware for is appreciated. :)

    Unfortunately I don't know...but I await someone who does know, because that would be really cool if you could use it as a separate drive or a place to store a pagefile, haha.
