    Is it possible to buy a FCM, throw it in the slot of my 1400 and enable it in XP? or is the Flash Cache Module only enabled in Vista? Thanks again NBR's!

    Do you mean Hyperboost? If so, no: that feature is only available in Vista.

    Are you referring to Turbo Memory?

    The ReadyBoost feature has been implemented in Vista to make use of the Flash Cache Module and so it will work with Vista alone ;)

    Turbo Memory though which is a platform specific feature is only available for Santa Rosa based chipsets, and will only work with Vista. So buying the turbo memory card for a non-Santa Rosa board without Vista won't work.
