I don't get it. Flash prices are freakin low these days, and they only include 256MB on each drive ? What gives ? Increase that to a nice 2 - 4GB and then you should start seeing a difference. Oh, and a working BIOS + drivers would help too..

Heh, i bet Apple will implement this right on their next version of MacBook Pros :)

HP said several months back that they had no plans to offer hybrid drives, though they continue to evaluate them, because they weren't seeing enough benefit to justify the higher cost.

I think Vista's lauded boot times have been negated by the fact that:
* We still need to reboot for [monthly] patches.
* We still have hotfixes, rollups, because it's not a solid product.
* Because it's not solid we're rebooting more than we would normally
