You mean Ready Boost, right? Turbo Boost is a CPU overclock, and should work with SSD present.

What they are saying is that READYBOOST should NOT be used on an SSD. All that constant reading and writing would wear out the drive in about a year.

That's real strange. Shouldn't have anything to do with what kind of drive you have in there. Turbo Boost is a cpu function. Ya got me.

Silly question probably but you are running the latest bios for that board correct? I found an obscure reference on the web that someone else was having the same problem with a regular HDD and updating the bios fixed it. Other than that I am out of ideas. Hope you get it figured out.

I guess 6600 means boot, but not boost?

I see in my computer dx58 Turbo boost concern to processor. Try to turn off turbo boost.
