It is not a critical driver, as long as TB works I would not worry about installing the latest one.

Some processors do not use the TB driver, it is inherit in the processor itself.

Use this software to be sure TB is functioning

One other thing that can affect the functioning of TB

In Windows 7 / 2008, your power management should be set for balanced mode not performance.

peformance mode can cause the the cpu to stay at its max rated frequency rather than clocking up to turbo boost mode

Wow great, a millon thanx i show the responce of processor from TB monitoring 2.3 to 2.8, im just only curious to install the new TB updates, hey by the way can i upgrade the RAM to a maximum 8Gig in a different brand? i found the specs telling that my existing ram is SODIMM 1333MHz Samsung, Dont know if this one is same as DDR3?

[Mumbodog]

Yes it is DDR3

Please post your full model or product number.

Spec page says 4gb is max, but could be wrong.

Service Guide says 8gb in the Product Description section

[ryalbs80]

Yah, it makes me confuse 'coz the memory max is only 4 Giga and some say it support till 8 giga and some other configurations says (see below), can't find 4096MB x 2 slots = 8gig, 

● 6144 MB (4096 MB × 1 + 2048×1)

● 4096 MB (4096 MB × 1)

● 4096 MB (2048 MB × 2)

● 3072 MB (1024 MB × 1 + 2048MB × 1)

● 2048 MB (2048 MB × 1)

im planning to upgrade even my existing ram is already 4gig but when the system and other application run, it indicates that available or remaining ram is only 2gig (max), is it possible to put another 4gig? im afraid so maybe the system will not run.
