    Hey guys just looking to get some input as to whether the Intel Turbo Memory(1GB) would be worth the while. I am already going to have 2x320gb 5400rpm WD scorpio's with an x7800. Think I'd even notice a difference?

    More dependent on how much ram how much ram you have than anything else. Unless you removed 2GBs of RAM I doubt you will notice any difference.

    dont waste your money, there are no benchmark to prove any improvement at all with this, only thing users reporting a "feels better" (i would report the same if i have spent my money on this ;) )

    The version 2 Turbo memory seems to be a good deal.

    I want to get the 4gig mini for my 6860. I doubt it will really increase preformance per say, but the user pinning will help speed up some programs loading. But mostly i want to use it and get rid of pagefile and all of those other little annoyances that depend on the HD so much

    Has anyone found anything worthwhile to put in that other mini pci-e slot, I hate to leave it empty like that.
