    Sorry to latch onto this thread, but I would also like to purchase some Turbo Cache memory.
    I am based in the UK, and can't seem to find any reliable retailers with it in stock (don't want to order from the bay anymore :( ).

    darn, in fadfusion.com I saw that there are two types of intel turbo memory modules. one is half-height. one is full-height. what is the difference between the two?

    not sure.

    but I would go for the better priced version, as well as make sure its 2.0

    Some laptops will only accept half-height, so before you buy make sure you know what your laptop will accept.

    so regardless of the height, the performance is the same?

    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?
