    It appears that Sony has joined HP into the camp of those who do not believe in the value of Turbo Memory. A post on Tech.Blorge.com reports that Sony will not include support for Turbo Memory in its laptops and even that Vista does not currently support Turbo Memory. Here is the Blorge article:

    The Blorge article took the following article at ZDNetAsia as its source:

    http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/software/0,39044164,62018969,00.htm

    With Sony and HP are rejecting Turbo Memory, it appears that this technology is not all that Intel and Microsoft claim it to be.

    Sony's attitude toward Turbo Memory is awfully sour, I wonder if they had trouble integrating it with their notebooks? Hmm . . . :) Perhaps an excuse not to put it in.
