    SSD with AHCI


    Hey all

    I have recently bought a new SSD (replacing the main HDD) and, as you do, have been tinkering.

    I read that for best performance it should be set to AHCI, so I followed this with no issues:

    AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista

    However, when I went into the bios I realised that the M2N68-AM Plus does not support AHCI.

    Slight panic, but the PC booted fine (huzzah!).

    So my questions are - leaving the registry with the settings as 0, will that cause any issues in the future? I read in one forum that a user did this and then 6 days later it went to poos.

    If the answer to that is "no", will it in fact improve anything at all?

    thanks

    If the board doesn`t support AHCI, it doesn`t matter what you do in windows.

    All that matters is the speed of the sata ports.

    Your board only has 3 Gbps sata ports. It`ll be fine.

    I would set the key back to 3. It will work just as good in IDE. With those ports you will not see a difference.
