    What's that option for? I don't think one can squeeze Win 7 into a 4GB drive...

    Fast pagefile I think (which will be 4GB with 4GB ram unless you specify it differently)

    I think they are call turbo memory, or whatever Intel had decide to call it.

    It's like the SSD portion of a Momentus XT. Functions the same if I recall.

    as far as I know, a hybrid HD will try to put small and frequently used files in the flash...
