Hello Mattz, have you seen this tutorial at the link below?


AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista

 

[Dave76]

Mattz, try the tutorial linked above, you won't have to re-install.

It works great.

I would switch to AHCI or RAID.

 

[Mattz]

Thanks Again

Thanks to Ted and Dave save My reinstall and push me to my goal WEI rating and beyond I gained from my 7.3 HDD rating to new 7.7 HDD rating from setting for AHCI WOW realy flying now My rating now is 7.4 which was my goal and when I get used to this ? I may be tempted to Juice up the Hardware for an OC run!!!

 

[Dave76]

Looks good Mattz

What SSD did you get?

AHCI gave you a +.4, that's great

WEI Lower after Driver Update

Go figure, I went out and got the latest nVidia drivers for my GTX 295 yesterday and happen to look at my WEI experience today and Windows tells me I had a change in hardware and I should re-run.

I did and my graphics scores came down .3 points which now makes my video card the slowest performing component. So why would the drivers take it down? I did not expect updated drivers would impact the WEI ratings.

Any thoughts why this would happen?

Greg :mad2:

Edit/Update: I un-installed that version of the nVidia drivers and the WEI score returned to the previous ranking. Still curious why the drivers have that kind of impact to the scores.

A-Ram SSD ULTRA II 60GB 2.5 MLC | MegaBuy Computer Parts
Just a small one Dave but with very good write speed for its size

The Sandforce controller is very fast, can't go wrong there.

Your SSD is 50% larger than mine, all you need is a boot drive for OS and programs.
There is no need or advantage to store pics, music, personal data on a SSD.

Enjoy the speed

New drivers are tweeked for Fermi, No love for our older 295's, I went back to the old drivers as well. wanted to keep 7.9 for 2(295's) in SLI.
