    Hello everyone,

    My m15x did not come with turbo memory. Is it possible to purchase after market turbo memory for other sites besides AW?

    if you have the 4GB of memory installed, the turbo mem is going to be rendered useless really.

    if you feel you really want it, the m15x will only take the 1GB module.

    I have it never seemed to make a difference not even sure if its on right now 4 gigs of ram is more important really to be honest I probably wasted 50 bucks on it :( it may help with boot times but then again I believe a thumb drive could as well

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I will leave my system as is and just wait for my 280m GTX to come tomorrow.
