right Nvidia's TurboCache technology is a method of allowing video cards more available video memory by using both onboard video memory and main system memory. Main memory is accessed using the high-bandwidth PCI-Express bus.
TurboCache was developed as a means to provide a better cost/performance ratio by reducing the amount of memory modules on the video card. According to Nvidia, a GeForce 6200 with TurboCache will perform about four times better than the Intel GMA 900. As with integrated graphics, the operating system may report a lower amount of main memory than is physically present when main memory is used.
