I find that very interesting and would like to see Intel implement it.

They already have, first tests are out here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4329/intel-z68-chipset-smart-response-technology-ssd-caching-review
Results are varying, in best case scenario it's as fast as an SSD and in worst case as slow as a mechanical drive. On average results are somewhere in between so it's a nice boost but it's not the same performance as a pure SSD setup.

Those guys are using Maximized cache, which I don't think is a very good idea.

Yah I do not get the point I would rather get a cheaper board and spring for a 40/64 gig ssd, would work out to about the same.

I have an intel SSD and it sure is a lot faster than a spinning drive.
trexx:
Recently switched to an SSD and it makes such a noticeable improvement I'll probably never go back.

I'm with Lone when it comes to SSD. Great for a boot drive, but essentially useless for storage. Though the new 2400 SF SSD's are looking sexy as hell can't beat 6GB/s. (They will eventually, but as of right now it's the top dog.) Not too mention that it's not OVERLY pricey, yeah i could get 4TB's for the price in HHD, but it's still 120GB at those speeds. Rather incredible, just to see where the technology will get to.
