    I just found out something strange on my new m1330. My machine's nvidia control panel reports 256MB Video RAM installed instead of 128MB. Is it reported incorrectly or it is freebie upgrade? :)

    I am confused. You are talking about Intel turbo memory.? If you are talking about Intel turbo memory, I don't think my machine comes with one because I don't see FCM installed physically.

    No, it's NVIDIA® TurboCache™ technology.
    For me [8600] : 256 + 768
