    It seems like as soon as i disabled ready boost/ready drive on my T61, i stopped getting BSOD's(blue screen of death).

    anyone else care to chime in?

    No, just got an BSOD with Turbo Memory disabled.

    I took out the powersupply from the wall, while it was doing checkdisk. I found it back with a black screen and it moved into a blue screen as soon as I touched the trackpoint...

    After that new driver, my BSOD's actually got worse..... It wouldnt even let me into windows to turn off turbo memory... and since im not the most tech savvy person, i reformated entire comp and remembered TO NEVER install turbo memory again... Until someone confrims that it is fixed... :p

    I do not have Turbo memory and I'm using XP Pro. Have yet to see a BSOD and I've had the machine for about two weeks. As a matter of fact almost everything about it is just fine.....so far!

    did a reinstall of vista home premium (32 bit) immediately after getting my T61. No BSODs in 3 full days of use. Keep your fingers crossed!

    Initially no BSOD's with turbo memory. Then I installed Adobe Flash Player 9 as part of AOL AIM install and it started to rain BSOD's. Uninstalled AIM and ran regedit to clear all references. Still received BSOD's. Then I uninstalled Flash Player 9 and the BSOD's stopped.

    thats pretty funny, because the only time that I ever really got BSOD's was when i was watching videos on youtube. another mystery is added to the pot i guess.

    i think the BSOD happen most often when the battery is in use. i have NO problems with the T61 at all while plugged in but as soon as i go to the battery for power, it crashes soon after (with Turbo Memory enabled). With Turbo memory disabled, sometimes it might lock up Vista, but no BSOD.

    I also found that Intel Turbo Mem ReadyDrive will cause BSOD and ReadyBoost might occasionally lock up Vista.

    Blue Screen stop error 0x00008086 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)? iaStor.sys, Intel will burn in hell for this driver :)

    I have to go 64-bit and I hope the 64-bit SATA driver works.

    Yes, save your money. The thing seems to work only for some. I thought it was helping me at first but BSODs killed any use of it.
