which ssd ???

Kev s148,
Your correct my mobo is an MSI diamond board with all standard USB 2 and Sata on board. The Asus PCIe card has worked brilliantly and for $29.00 was a smart addition along with the Crucial Real SSD. Now new mobo's are almost standard with these higher performing formats but I saw no reason to upgrade my board just yet.
Cheers,

ive just had an email from asus and my mother board is supported so i shall be geting one

thanks for the help every body

I think you'll be very happy with the combo. Why toss a good mobo if you have an available slot !

just quick question did u plug your card into a pci express x4 or x16 slot ?

it shows on the asus web site to plug it into a x16 BUT when u look at the instructions it says it makes no diffrence if you plug it into a x4 or x16 slot

Hi,

It should not matter if you plug it into a x4 or x16 PCi-e slot the slot will go down to the lanes you will need.

Good luck with installation!
