Perhaps you could use the "contact us" link at the top of that page to
ask intel?
And then report back.
At the very least, it services to show interest, and Intel may well be
doing something about it.
It's also worth asking on one or both of RHEL{4,5} lists. I've not
noticed him recently, but there has been an Intel chap hanging out there.
The notebook was an Asus 2GS - I asked here because I figure if anyone might
be working on utilizing this new technology in Linux, it might be someone
associated with Fedora. The reference to Turbo Memory in the Asus ad led me
to find the same page already, that you posted above. I also downloaded the
PDF data sheet. Apparently, the new technology relies on a software component
(driver?) only available in Vista. There's nowhere any mention of making the
technology available in XP. It is being described as a new 'key system
component' on a par with ram, cpu, etc... I did try clicking on the contact
us button, but it leads to more and more pages, and there wasn't time in my
schedule to figure out which contact link would be the most appropriate.
Maybe I'll give it another go later...
