    I know according to tests Turbo Memory didn't help much in terms of performance or battery life.
    How about boot up time though?

    I suppose it would be worth justifying the extra $50 to spend on something that is questionable.....im sure the software support for it will be there within a year to help make it a bit more useful......

    but if you are getting it to simply speed up boot times, then just keeping the system data and physical notebook clean along with keeping the laptop cool would create just as much performance as any

    Another question with this Turbo Memory stuff.

    Anyone know if they may make Turbo Memory modules in the Express Card format?

    Becasue as i understand it the express card can be connected directly to a 1x PCIE lane which in effect would be teh same as having it plugged into a mini-PCIE slot on the motherboard.

    Doing this would also make the technology more easily avalible becasue I'm not sure many laptops have multiple mini-PCIE slots. And seeing as in most cases 1 would be used for a wireless module you wouldn't have space for a Turbo memory module :s. Or do all santa rosa platforms that havn't said they won't support it have an extra slot? I mean like Dells & IBM

    To be more specific does anyone know if the Dell XPS 1330 has space to fit one of these. Coz I can't see any reason not to try it out Ive spent money on more useless things before :s
