+Intel Turbo Memory {#turbomem}
+==================
+
+Some X200 devices were sold with Intel Turbo Memory installed in the top-most mini PCI-e slot. This has been [shown to be ineffective](http://www.anandtech.com/show/2252) at disk caching or battery saving in most use cases. While there are [Linux drivers](https://github.com/yarrick/turbomem) available, it is blacklisted in at least GNU+Trisquel, and possibly other free operating systems. It should probably be removed.
