    Firstly.. I have the 2G intel turbo memory 2.0 in my machine, the bugged version. I've read that a more recent update of the software came out in the last month or so that helps fix the dashboard glitches, but I can't find a link as to where to get it from.

    So if somebody could provide a link, that would be great.


    The other thing is that I bought 1 stick of DDR3 2Gig memory when I bought it but am now interested in more ram. I'm finding Vista to be too much of a resource hog and having huge delays when trying to alt+tab programs such as WoW. I'm hoping more ram will help with this. I am running Vista 64 bit so I know the machine supports this.

    Where is the cheapest place to get DDR3 memory from for a laptop, ideally a Canadian site. Also, does the new stick have to be identicle in terms of manufacturer and other specs as the existing stick.. and if so, how do I get the specs on the first stick, it's not included in the information from my order.

    Try www.shopbot.ca for the RAM. Good stores includes NCIX and Newegg. But I have no ideas for the Intel Turbo Memory :/

    Check powernotebooks.com site for the updated driver for turbo memory.
