The replacement for Turbo Memory, or a cheap SSD slot?
Good question.
The shot above is from a P55 motherboard from EVGA, which is not unlike most "Lynnfield" motherboards that have been showing up on the web.
While specs for the technology aren't yet clear, something with flash will plug there and there are rumors that it may serve also as a boot device and not just as a helper device from RAM restricted builds.
Some sources claim this new technology will only be available in Intel's upcoming 57 series chipsets and not these 55 series chipsets - that doesn't make much sense right now, given the amoung of P55 boards with this slot. This is seriously looking like it will arrive together with the launch of Core i5 CPUs.
