Robson Intel Turbo Memory wrong size for S96S

Anyone have any advice on how to make the full size turbo memory fit in this case.

The only way i see is to trim the little metal tab from one of the screw holes and then grind down where the screw would go just enought so it still holds the turbo memory in the mini pci-e slot.

 

The S96S and G1S both uses Asus half size card, you won't able to trim the metal tab, also there is another screw on the way and it's part of the chassi that holds the MB, it's not fit in there.

 

I know all that, i took the whole thing apart already.

In the first pic you can see the post that hits the turbo memory card.

The second shows the little metal tab i was referring to.

I could probably grind down the post just enought to still hold the card in place but i wanted to know if anyone had a better solution.

 

Yes, wait for Asus half size card by the end of this month which will fit perfectly.

 

I wish I knew this before I ordered the turbo memory card today

 

You beat me to it Ken =P.

Yea, a lot of people bought turbo memory separately, much to their chagrin when they receive it, due to some misinformation floating around the boards. Don't worry, you aren't alone Sneis.

 

I think I did warn G1S owners before on other thread.

 

I have ass96s and intel turbo memory Intel® Product Code: NVCPEMWR001G110

i find from intel website for intel turbo memory this product
1/2 height mini card but 512 mb for asus s96s and s62e
Asmobile Product Code:
60-NMVRS2000-A01P
any idea where to find this ?

 

That's the Asus half-size card, will be available by the end of June.

 

many tnks Gentechpc for your reply
did you know about the cost ? and this- asus comp - card include 512 mb or 1 gb ram ?

 

Why do some sites included it as a add in item when customizing if it doesn't fit?

 

Trying to take your money? They hack a regular card up to fit in there. Or rather they hack up the port to fit the full size card. Some will also tell you (Robson memory shipped separately) and you won't get it till the half-size comes out.

 

any news from asus for intel turbo memory half size ?

 

I got two questions. One, which intel turbo memory will fit an F3sv-B1? And, is it even worth it? There seems to be a lot of controversy over whether the benefits are there for this product.

 

You'll get a bunch of back and fourth on the value of Turbo Memory but the truth is the jury is still out.

 

fyi, supposedly, eddie from btotech figured out a way to fit a fullsize card into a half-card slot. he said he would a video of how to do it....but maybe decided against it b/c he got pissed of.

 

i have a G1S and have the big turbo memory installed and working just fine. I just tapped the back side of the turbo memory card so it would not make any contacts.

Honnestly, it's working just fine !

 

not much to figure out there just some ingenuity. make sure the tape is vinyl based non coductive. there is no way for you to mod the s96j unfortunately short of cutting the cylindrical screw hole that is in the way.
