Kingston Technology expects to bring a flash hard drive to market by early 2008.
SanDisk wants to replace the hard drive in notebooks with flash memory, a swap that it says will make thin laptops faster and more reliable.
The world as notebook users know it is about to change in a flash.
Intel will begin building flash-memory drives into servers in 2008, starting with 32GB models that the company promises will boost system performance.
Solid-state drives are still going to be somewhat hard to find and expensive in 2008, but mass production, cheaper flash memory, and tech advances will start to change that in 2009 and 2010.
IT vendors such as Microsoft and Intel have grand plans for 64-bit computing and the improved processing potential it promises but convincing customers may not be so straightforward.
Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.
