Intel® Turbo Memory 1GB

What does it REALLY do and is it worth it? seems a bit cheap to be as useful as a gig of ram, and if its cache, well isnt the whole point of cache to be small so its quicker to sort through and return instructions? If you have a gig of cache where is the speed increase?

Basically pricing up a zepto and can add this gig of turbo to it for less than £20 and just wondering if i should or not?

Well i have worked through and got zepto with 2gig duo, 2 gig ram, 7200rpm HDD and 512Mb 8600GT for like £730.

Can add this for an extra 20 and just not sure if really worth it or not?

Only really for playing wow on tbh.

Don't bother. £20 could be better spent on a higher capacity battery for example.

I looked at that, however dont all the 9-cell batteries have to stick out of the back of the laptop somewhat instead of fitting it like the 6 cell do? that puts me off.

Also only really use lappy in the house so its plugged in most of the time. Would defo get the better battery if it didnt stick outside of the case tho for sure.
