Intel® Turbo Memory — Jump Start Your Notebook. Look for Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology-based notebooks with new Intel® Turbo Memory. What is Intel® Turbo Memory? Intel® Turbo Memory is a new PC component that uses Flash memory technology and software drivers to deliver a better mobile experience on Windows Vista*. • Flash memory technology for notebooks – Intel® NAND Flash + Intel® software driver – Available in multiple sizes: 512 MB, 1GB – Small physical size: PCIe* Mini-Card Intel® Turbo Memory • It is not DRAM or RAM • Up to 20% faster boot time for Windows Vista*1 – DRAM still required as part of PC • Up to 2X faster performance when loading – Intel Turbo Memory provides added benefits to DRAM frequently used applications1 – Works on Windows Vista only • Lower power consumption by reducing hard drive spin How does Intel® Turbo Memory Work? Efficient system design – Intel Turbo Memory enhances processor performance by speeding up data going to the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor • Helps processor by storing large amounts of frequently used Information for faster access – Results in less system lag time – Stores data the processor is likely to need – Enhances the ability of Windows Vista to remember and store key data from your frequently used applications • Reduces system bottlenecks – Helps prevent the processor from being “starved” for data – Lets processor work closer to full potential – Intel® processors perform better with Intel Turbo Memory • Product benefits – Speeds up large applications, multi-tasking, and Windows Vista boot time – Improves efficiency and durability – no moving parts Featuring the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor Intel® Turbo Memory – Breakaway Performance and Energy Conservation Feature Functionality Benefit New Innovative Design Up to 1 GB of Flash memory technology stores Reduces system latency to provide faster application large amounts of frequently used information loading performance and boot time. for faster access by the processor to reduce system bottlenecks. Faster Application Loading Frequently used applications are cached in Up to 2X faster performance when loading frequently Intel® Turbo Memory for fast access by CPU, used applications.1 decreasing system lag time. Faster Boot Time for Reduces lag time for system boot up by storing Up to 20% faster boot time in Windows Vista.1 Windows Vista* Windows Vista files in Intel Turbo Memory. Files remain stored when PC is turned off. Increased Energy Efficiency Reduces hard drive spin by caching large amounts Lowers notebook power consumption. of information ahead of time. High-Performance Intel® NAND Flash Two memory configurations available: Large storage area with no moving parts for improved 512 MB or 1GB. efficiency and durability. Supports Windows Vista Three Windows Vista performance software features Simplicity – one convenient device providing ReadyBoost,* ReadyDrive,* and delivered in one OEM-installed notebook component. an enhanced Vista experience.

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 Vista* Ultimate (build 6000). Application load and runtime acceleration depend on Vista*’s preference to pre-load those applications into the Microsoft ReadyBoost* cache.
