Overview:

Stop spending your time watching an hourglass during system boots and application loading.

• Up to 2x faster performance when loading frequently used applications¹
• Up to 20% faster Windows Vista* boot time¹

Intel Turbo Memory lets your notebook actually learn your habits to provide better system response. That's because it stores frequently used information near the processor, where it's more quickly available. Better CPUs run better with Intel Turbo Memory.

This entirely new system innovation for Windows Vista PCs is based on Performance Intel® NAND Flash Memory, together with supporting software. It works alongside your system's RAM to increase the efficiency of data movement between the processor and hard disk.

Benefits:

Notebooks based on Intel Centrino Duo and Intel Centrino Pro processor technology that incorporate Intel Turbo Memory gain substantial benefits:

• Reduce boot time. Faster access to boot-up files lets the system start up more quickly.
• Improve application responsiveness. Data coming from Intel Turbo memory instead of the hard drive increases access speed.
• Accelerate application loading. Fast access by the processor to information needed to launch applications cuts lag time.
• Enhance Windows Vista. Support for Windows Vista performance features like ReadyBoost*, ReadyDrive*, and Superfetch* helps you take better advantage of the operating system.
• Save energy. Pre-storing information reduces hard-disk spin time, which saves power.

¹ Tests run on customer reference boards and preproduction latest generation Intel® Centrino® processor technology with optional Intel® Turbo Memory enabled against like systems without Intel Turbo Memory. Results may vary based on hardware, software and overall system configuration. All tests and ratings reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. All testing was done on Microsoft Windows Vista* Ultimate (build 6000). Application load and runtime acceleration depend on Vista's preference to pre-load those applications into the Microsoft ReadyBoost* cache.
