on the toshiba website it states: Geforce Go 6600 TE 128 MB.....

I checked on NVIDIA's site and it states that "TE" is related to "OEMs" and has nothing to do with Turbo Charge, and that Turbo Charge is ONLY...i repeat..ONLY in the 6200 model which actually SHARES memory with system memory....

Hope that is right??

ok....but my question is....do u think that the 6600 ALSO has shared memory....???

I know for sure that the 6200 has 32MB deicated and around 96MB shared with system memory if u pick the 128MB model..

I never said the 6600, I just mentioned the 6200. I have no info on 6600's using shared RAM.

The 6200's that use shared RAM offer something like 16MB of dedicated RAM and use up to 96MB of shared system RAM for the "128MB" version. You can see where the "128MB" label is an obvious lie, a complete scam, brought to you by nVidia.
