As it turns out, Intel released new drivers for the GMA 500. They still do not support OpenGL 2.0 or DirectX 10, but it is a noticeable improvement.
Top is the old WEI, bottom is the new.
And yes, I know it doesn't change my WEI score.

I want SSD...

Dangit.

However, I have a slight problem now... Actually, it started before this. Has anybody here come across a message when running the WEI test stating "The Windows Experience Index for your system could not be computed"? Mine runs through all the tests, right to the end, and then after testing primary HDD access speed it dies.

On the other hand, AHCI works perfectly on my setup, drivers installed fine and my startup time dropped from 68s to 65s (according to the 'Restart Time' VB script that I found in this forum). But I can't re-run my WEI to check that... Just found a thread over at MSDN with a few suggestions, so I'll have to try that and see. But just out of curiosity, and without trying to hijack this thread, has anybody else come across this..?

Everyone having an intel ssd and windows 7 should enable AHCI option for SATA controller.
The WEI for the hard driver was 7.3 and went to 7.8 after enabling AHCI.

I too have an Intel G2 80 gig SSD. What is the proper way to enable AHCI?

Hi Restrada, I used this guide to enable it, worked like a dream.

Thanks for the link. I just found the same link somewhere else. Now my HD score went from 7.4 to 7.7. HD Tune benchmarks are so much improved.

Quick question. Now that AHCI is enable, the "safely remove hardware & enject media" icon is permanent on my right hand taskbar. Are you encountering the same thing? Just wondering if this was normal.
