For all of you who are interested in getting turbo memory in you next laptop, this article would be very useful.

Also, intel demo'd this turbo memory again more recently, specifically with process-intensive apps and the performance gains.
Actually looks to show a big improvement, as opposed to the Anand tests which focus on general performance. It looks like future optimization (service pack 1?) could yield big gains.

Actually even Anandtech's latest tests show decent improvement -- 2x throughput on some disk benchmarks, and 15% additional battery life (an extra hour!).

Are these only for Windows Vista systems or also available if you get the system with Windows XP?

The turbo memory will only work under Vista.

It'd be nice if you had the ability to tell the TM what to cache, like if you were playing a game you could cache the game folder so that when you load a new level it would go from the TM vs the hard drive (same instance could apply to watching a movie or listening to music).

It would also be great if we could get it for the T60p series too.
If you run Vista it should work great.
