Super Talent Exelerator: ReadyBoost that goes on the USB header on your motherboard
Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of DRAM memory modules and flash storage solutions, today launched the new Exelerator family of ReadyBoost drives that use an internal 9-pin USB header on the motherboard.The Exelerator family of drives was designed expressly to elevate system performance in Windows Vista by functioning as a ReadyBoost drive. These innovative new Flash drives plug into a standard 9-pin USB header inside the chassis, on the motherboard, to function as a dedicated ReadyBoost drive. With lightning fast 25MB per second read speeds and sub-millisecond access times, Exelerator drives are the perfect cost effective system upgrade to enhance the Vista experience. These drives are offered with either vertical or horizontal connectors to accommodate space constraints within different enclosures.

Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James, commented, "Exelerator drives offer Vista users a quick, easy, permanent way to boost performance without sacrificing an external USB port. These exceptionally fast drives alleviate the need to always have a ReadyBoost USB drive plugged into the front of your chassis."
Super Talent's internal ReadyBoost drives are sampling now, with mass production starting in June. 2GB models are expected to retail for approximately $25.

Yes, it bothers me when businesses butcher words to achieve some illusory "hipness" or whatever. But usually the words make some sense. All Exelerator makes me think of is incorrect spelling, and ultimately the wrong word altogether.
even if not used for vista would be great for server main boards not requiring the os to be loaded on one of the drives also could be used as a page file
For all those confused: USB headers are the little thingies on your motherboard that you plug your case USB ports into to make your case USB ports work :).
Here's an example of one I read about the other day made by made by PQI
Doesn't really matter IMHO, because Ready Boost will be pointless when SSD is the norm.
boom bang!
