Any MOBO's with built in Flash for Vista Readyboost ?

All,
Has anyone heard about any MOBO's that offer built in Flash memory that will support the upcoming Windows Vista ReadyBoost feature:

ReadyBoost takes advantage of the increased speed available from a flash drive versus the hard drive. The only problem is that no one wants to have to permanently have a 2GB flash drive poked into one of their USB 2.0 ports to take advantage of this. I thought I read a while back about Intel considering adding a flash socket on their MOBO's to support this, but after looking over several recent MOBO reviews this seems to be non-existant. If anyone knows about MOBO's that support this, or have any links to when it might be coming out I would much appreciate it. Given the low cost of flash these days, the imminent arrival of Vista, and the performance improvement that would arise, I would think this would be a no-brainer to start building into MOBO's. Especially if the socket on the MOBO supported a veriety of flash sizes, so you could expand the flash as it became cheaper.

Thanks,
Robert

Well,
A little more digging showed that Samsung has developed a 4GB solid state disk (SSD) just for this purpose. Although it isn't built into the MOBO, it is designed to connect to the ATA port directly on the MOBO, thus eliminating the external dongle'd problem:

I don't believe it is for sale yet, cause the article above is from late July, 2006. Probably will be ready when Vista is ready I'm guessing.
