Hello,

 

I have a new Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with Intel Turbo Boost memory. I

have enabled "readydrive" and "Readyboost" in the Intel Turbo Boost

memory control panel. However, when I look at the hardware settings

for my hard drive, in the NV Cache Tab I get this message:

 

"This device has 387 MB of NV (non volatile) cache and can help

improve system performance. If using this disk as a Hybrid Hard Disc

is enabled, the disk can provide power savings and optimize the boot

and resume times of the system. The use of this disk as a Hybrid Hard

Disk can be turned on or off by the group policy administrators."

 

So, my questions are:

 

(1) If I've turned on Readyboost and Readydrive, am I getting the

advantage of that 387MB NV Cache, despite this cryptic message? Is

there a way to know if it is activated?

 

(2) If not, what are 'group policy administrators' and how do I change

that setting. I figured that I am the group policy administrator as

it's my laptop. But I couldn't find anything either on the web or in

the Administrative Tools program.

 

Any sugestions would be appreciated.
