It is just about a year ago that Claude submitted the inquiry below. I'm
seriously looking at the Lenovo ThinkPad T500, and it is offering a 2 Gb
Turbo Memory device. Can Fedora 10 use this? Is there an open-source
driver anywhere?
The Lenovo website is saying if I pick this I will have to give up the
integrated Bluetooth PAN, but I assume I can just add a Bluetooth
thingie as an ExpressCard or PC Card. Or maybe I can do the reverse --
keep the integrated PAN and hunt around for an ExpressCard Turbo Memory
thingie...
We already have a technology that's better: Ram Drive
Plus, you could outfit your laptop with a flash drive and run the OS
completely off of it without having a single spinning traditional HDD.
Google search this though. You'll find the power savings and performance
are not worth the money.
TurboMemory is a joke meant to sell Vista.
Why waste a PCMCIA port on a bluetooth adapter? They come in USB form.
