Thanks for your comment Mixolydian.
As you said,"iRAM requires a mirror on a hard drive",So how does this become faster than normal RAM?Why not just use hibernate feature in XP?

Reading their manual,I now believe that they use an inbuilt battery to save the data.Also they want you to leave the AC power on as much as possible while the PC is shutdown.
