    I read that the first version of the Intel Turbo Memory doesn't introduce any improvements to a laptop system but instead gives downfalls. Is the 2.0 version also like this?

    No, V2 @ 4GB gives me substantial boost. Good example is when my HDD is doing something intensive , and I want to load up, say, word, or something. I open word and its up and running faster than it would be were the HDD doing nothing. I've found it very useful.

    Do you reckon that advantage is gained from ReadyDrive or ReadyBoost?
    If its only from ReadyBoost then I guess I could just use my phone memory externally for a similar effect...
    how much did you pay for the stick anyway?

    Edit: I forgot the names.

    some of the modules in ebay are named "intel turbo memory 1.7" which explains that for a 2GB intel turbo memory you can have a one-time option (upon installing) on choosing between the configuration of "ready drive and ready boost" or "ready drive and user pinning" while the 4GB version offers only "ready drive and user pinning".

    What then is the difference between ready boost and user pinning?

    And why were the 2GB modules designed in such way?

    Which is better between the 2GB and 4GB?
