Robson Turbo Mem, Yes or No?

I have decided recently to go for purchasing a new laptop. More specifically the Sager NP2090. For the OS I'd be going for the Vista Home Premium, and 2GB RAM.

Now, would the Turbo Mem be a waste of money, or do you think that it would be useful for, if not now, then future apps/use?

Also can you "push" apps onto it? For example, use if for non speed intensive apps like Firefox while I save the main mem for the big things like development or games. Or is it only for pre-loading info only?

Thanks,
TD

From what I can read about it, it looks like the only real benefit is a slight increase in battery life of about 5 to 10% due to reduced hard drive access. That alone might be worth it if you often use your laptop on battery power, but we're only talking about a few minutes here. Is it worth $35? You decide.
