Looks normal.

I think that normal..

what motherboard are u using? different chipsets react differently to ssd (amd vs intel). and in between intel also got alot of different chipsets, most notably the fastest is intel's ich10.

you wont be able to get exactly the same speeds as other people due to a lot of factors. cpu, mobo, the southbridge, third party sata controller, etc.

and moreover some review sites will use high end cpu like 990x and oc'ed it like hell to do the benchmark, so their values will obviously be higher.

ic...so the values im gettin is normal??

im using mis gd p55 gd65
intel i5 750
4gb ram
win7 ultimate 32bits

normal.
ur CPU usage during the tests is 7%+
try to free up background tasks and u will see the scores get higher

no1 reply?

If you are using Windows 7, this is how you enable AHCI after installing the operating system :

Anyway, I believe if you enable AHCI mode instead in the bios, it applies for all of the hard disk drives, unless your motherboard gives you the option to enable different modes for different hard disks.

thanxx...i can boot using d AHCI mode now

so how was the ssd speed after u enable AHCI?
