No Intel Turbo Memory for Desktops Until Next Year

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the buy-our-laptops dept.

Might E Mouse writes "While Intel's 3-series chipsets support Robson/Turbo Memory, the general consensus amongst motherboard manufacturers at Computex is that we're not going to see the technology on the desktop until next year at the earliest. Working modules are on display at the show, but they're not going to be available to buy for a while."

    So does this mean they found a new place for the turbo button?

    Well, I imagine that, as you'd probably expect, turbo memory involves something spinning around really fast. The delay is probably related to difficulty with machining tolerances and excess vibration.

    As I recall, a turbo uses a lot of hot air to set things spinning, and then blows it out the back end. Seems just right for slashdot these days.

    Is it too much to ask that you explain these words you use as not all of use know what EVERY and ANY mean.
