    I'd appreciate if someone who has the above combination could post a HD Tune result. With and without Turbo Memory would be great, but I'd be happy just to see results for the combination.

    The result is slower hard drive performance and lovely blue screens.

    I think what he meant to say is that just disable Turbo memory and you'll have faster hard drive performence and no blue screen.
    Turbo memory = promising on paper, unfortunately it doesn't work. Maybe it'll take 3 strikes to get everything working (bigger size like 2GB or 4GB, better driver, Vista SP1, etc)
