This is my first foray into this forum so here goes:
I'm building a new box around the MSI X48C Platinum motherboard, but on the MSI site, I saw something unfamiliar and potentially disturbing in the specifications. The last line in the Main Memory category reads thus:
- Memory Turbo Card must be installed with either DDR2 or DDR3
Firstly, I've never even heard of a 'Memory Turbo Card' as far as mobo components go. Secondly, I've found very little information about them, and what little I did find only applied to a card designed for notebook PCs.
I cannot determine if this component is seriously necessary to find, buy, and install with the RAM on this motherboard. If it really is required, and not just some erroneous entry, what exactly do I need to buy, and what are my choices?
Can anyone on this board supply me with more information about this? I need to order the parts for this new machine this weekend, so I'm in a bit of panic over making sure all my bases are covered. If those of you have experience with this specific motherboard model, that would be most helpful as well.
