    Hi
    will I notice a decent increase in speed with 4gb turbo memory if I already have 4gb ram (on 64bit vista or windows 7) and a 2.8ghz duo processor?
    thanks

    Not really. Turbo Memory was kind of DOA with Vista.

    I would try using readyboost with a flash drive first, check if you see even a little improvement.

    If you gain some performence with readyboost, then go for the turbo memory.

    But if you get nothing from readyboost, I think that turbo memory wont do much either.

    If you already have 4gb of memory, neither turbo memory nor readyboost will give you a performance increase.
