Hello.
I own an Asus G50v laptop and have recently installed a 4Gb Intel Turbo Memory card, as these were optional.
The operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
I can install the drivers, but it seems that only the matrix drivers install, and there is nothing for the turbo memory at all.
I also read that if you were running RAID on these laptops, then the turbo memory wouldn't work.
I was infact running RAID 0, so lastnight I reinstalled my laptop, but nothing has happened, even after trying the latest driver, which I download as the turbo memory driver, but it installs the matrix driver, no turbo memory at all.
Any ideas? Or have I just wasted my time and money in purchasing one of these?

Did you download the Intel Turbo Memory package:

Did you follow the release notes information? It appears fairly thorough:

In the release notes, it does claim to only work with certain RAID Drivers:

I got it working.
I removed the HDDs from being in a raid array, by going into the RAID screen via CTRL + I, but didn't think of changing the BIOS from RAID to Enhanced.
All good now, my bad, thanks for the reply.
