    Hello,

    I was wondering if there was anyway to enable turbocache (to allow for 384megs of total vram) on the Quadro 140m in the T61.

    With graphics desktop processors I know that, depending on the drivers used, you can actually manipulate them to become either a quadro or 8x00... Does anyone know if that's possible on the T61?

    thanks,
    -Rogue5-

    p.s. without the Intel Turbo Memory, the T61 doesn't have BSOD issues does it?

    It's already enabled...you don't need to do anything else.

    You can get an additional speed boost by using the latest drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com.

    Cool! I thought I read somewhere that it only supported the 128meg dedicated memory (as in, no additional shared vram via turbocache.) If you say it supports higher though, that's awesome.

    Does anyone know how much turbocahce the X3100 takes? Is it dynamically adjustable through the drivers or is it fixed? If it's fixed, what amount is it fixed at? If it's variable, what are the minimum and maximum amounts you can adjust it to?
