Look at this captures, the app isn't workin properly, any knows the solution for the problem?
Intalled drivers the last ones.
At the beggining it shows me the correct 47% space used, and now after pinning the apps and reboot, shows 0% free space and 171179869183,4 GB used(when its only 4gb)
The device worked properly in windows vista ultimate x64 but now....its so buggy
My Intel turbo memory is mini pci full size 4GB with user pinning
When I installed firstly it was showing 3,4 Gb free space( I'm assuming that 0,6 GB are for Readydrive) in the 4GB version readyboost is disabled. I tried to reinstall win 7 more than once and showd me the same info.

I am running Intel Turbo Memory Console (version 1.10.0.1012) in Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) with no problems. Occasionally, I open the application and discover that Windows ReadyBoost has been disabled -- Windows must be playing games with me. But usually the application indicates that my 1Gb Intel Turbo Memory is being used for Windows ReadyBoost and Windows ReadyDrive.
I downloaded this application and driver installation package directly from Intel.

jxtx but mi turbo memory is the 4gb version and it uses user pinning app. Its crazy the thing that shows me.

I have 2 GB intel turbo memeory on a pci express mini card full size not half. And Turbo Memory works like Ready Boost but also has something called Ready Drive. Which if you have a Hard drive with 8MB cache buffer. If you have Intel Turbo Memory then depending on how much Turbo memory you have it splits up evenly, Half to ReadyBoost and Half to Ready Drive, making it feel like your hard drive now has 1GB of cache buffer. I get an extra hour of battery life easily. Now that Windows 7 is so effcient, because now my CPU cycles down to 0%, and other W7 effciencies, plus 2GB of Intel Turbo Memory.I rarely if ever see the the hard drive light blink anymore.
Its the exact opposite of Vista in Vista it never stopped blinking, or blicked alot meaning disk activity. Now in W7 and Intel TM it never spins and that saves ALOT of battery juice.
I am running W7 Home Premium 64-bit. -
Ok Ice cold, lucky you, with the 2GB version, but mine is 4GB and you can see that something is very wrong with the turbo memory Dashboard.
And I'm asking if somebody has got the 4GB turbo memory version and W7 x64 and the Dashboard working properly or dissapointing like me. And of course if he has the solution. -
Nope no 4GB here. I would have gone 4GB but that was really pricey.
I can't see getting any more perforamnce from 4GB than 2GB.
#1. Try switching to another PCI Express Half Mini slot if you have it.
#2. Could be dfective memory chip, have waht ever manufacturer replace it, you will probably get a better model or revision. They have Lifetime warranties
#3. Take it out restart run everything. shut down reinstall, try again cross fingers.
#4. Are you 110% sure your chipset etc is compatible?
#5. Do a Firmware update, on your laptop.
#6. In Windows 7, don't disable Readyboost, prety sure Intel Turbo needs it or some other service down the line needs it.
#7. A clean, W7 64-bit reformat clean install likely will solve this. -
The only thing that I didnt tried of the things that you tell me is step 1 and crossing fingers.
My chipset is PM965 and it has been supporting it for a year.
In the 4GB version readyboost is automaticlly stopped, so there is no point here.
Step 1 ( I will try now)
Step 2 to 7 are done.
I tried more than one a clean install, and it had not work. There are no more firmware updates to my dell 1720 laptop avaiable. -
I have an E6500 Dell Latitude with 200GB HD, 4gb ram T9600 @ 2.9ghz and 4GB Intel Turbo Memory. I haver the similar situation, however I just get a box come up saying that the turbo memory is not working properly or not present. I re install driver package it works for a while then back to same old story, which is a shame as in my previous Dell D830 it worked fine and really saved battery and speeded up the pc so I am wondering what is up?
-
previously this was installed in the D830 and worked fine under the vista 64 bit OS, then there were some changes made and I got the same issue as yourself in Vista and Win 7 64 bit, so I think this is a software issue Intel has to sort out and after contacting them they are looking into it as many of us have this issue. In my case I can install the software and get it to work, pin all applications I need then see that 84% is full.
however after subsequent re boots it does not function, in the ITM consol readyboost is greyed out(normal) but so is Ready drive which should be enabled, this issue is now with Intel and await their reply and I hope they come up with new software so the unit works as oit should, as I had the 2 GB model before the 4GB and it worked fine until now. -
So many people are reporting problems with turbo memory/rapid boost that it might be a good idea to stay away from those two win7/intel iSeries features until a lot more people report stable systems **and** real-world (not synthetic benchmark) performance improvements.
Just sayin'.......
