    I have dell xps 1340 which is p8600 intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz
    and i has nvidia chipset. There are only 2 chipsets in the notebook cpu and gpu... as 9400mg does work for controllers... I have 3 slots for pci-e extentions, one is for wifi which im using, and other 2 for bluetooth, and broad band are empty.. so can I buy intel turbo memory and plug it in? or my laptop wont be able to run it...
    Anyone with experience can explain please?

    I don't have the experience though, but according to the Intel Turbo Memory page on Intel website, I say that it won't work since it is installed in a non-supported chipset.

    also, do some more research on turbo boost.

    It isn't and doesn't.
