    none--the intel turbo memory is for accelerating applicaitons. The program doesn't load in time to make a difference for system and most of the system files you want to accelerate are already in memory.

    If you could put system files in turbo memory, it would actually slow you down.

    In a typical system, speed of access so the CPU can utilize the file goes like this

    L1>L2>System Ram>Page File>Harddrive

    Adding turbo memory is like this

    L1>L2>System Ram>Turbo Memory>Page File>Harddrive

    So you would be moving system files from System Ram to Turbo Memory, slowing your system

    Use it for what is intended--let windows handle the system files
