Simple, I think the best thing to do is to put the swap partition on this. It solves the problem with the restore from hibernation speed. It also speeds the use of swap. I won't make any comment on the strutural intelligence of this 'feature'...

This stuff is a flash connected to the PCI bus which Vista seems ale to use to store frequently accessed data, so it bypasses the hard disk, thus saving time. It's present on modern laptops, and is coming to the desktop too. I was wondering if anybody and better info than I, as I would be interested in using it to save hibernation images and such, to speed up restore time... Nothing in the logs though... advTHANKSance Hervé P.S.: for those interested, here is a sudo lspci -vv: 04:00.0 Memory controller: Intel Corporation Turbo Memory Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Turbo Memory Controller Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: Memory at f0300000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Region 2: I/O ports at 3000 [size=128] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 88000000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: 00000000 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [68] Express Legacy Endpoint IRQ 1 Device: Supported: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, ExtTag- Device: Latency L0s unlimited, L1 unlimited Device: AtnBtn- AtnInd- PwrInd- Device: Errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- Device: RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop- Device: MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes Link: Supported Speed 2.5Gb/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Port 0 Link: Latency L0s <512ns, L1 <32us Link: ASPM Disabled RCB 128 bytes CommClk+ ExtSynch- Link: Speed 2.5Gb/s, Width x1 -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
