Getting Started Senior Member 913 posts Joined: Jan 2007 From: Butterworth, Penang	I checked on BootRacer ranking most of the top 10 got either M4 or 830. And some of the top ranking only using i5. Does mobo affect boot time? What else I have to do other than follow the optimization guide? Below is some details of my pc. - i7-2600k @ stock - DP67BG - 4GB value @ stock - HD6950 @ stock - FPS 500w (probably needa change, reason see below) - 3 x 1TB Black

Z68/P67 is better than immature X79's C600 most important is update to the latest mobo chipset driver as well as Intel RST driver. Other than these don't really give significant boost to the performance.

Is there anyway to do without screwing up my current OS? hmm... always do this step before setting ACHI in bios: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « AHCI is fully supported in Microsoft Windows Vista and the Linux operating system from kernel 2.6.19. Older operating systems like Windows XP require drivers written by the host bus adapter vendor in order to support AHCI. Windows XP requires the installation of a vendor-specific driver even if AHCI is present on the host bus adapter because Windows XP was released before Serial ATA was invented. By default, MS Vista and 7 have the Msahci driver disabled. So, how to enable AHCI if you already install Windows Vista/Windows 7 using IDE interface. Solution…(Always back up the registry key prior to making changes) 1. Exit all Windows-based programs. 2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. 3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue. 4. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci 5. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify. 6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK. 7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor Restart and go into the BIOS and make the changes from IDE to AHCI and restart and away you go. I've made the change and no problems thus far, but I have not noticed any change in performance. Hope this helps.

I got a few question want to ask expert here as below: a) Will it because my mobo dont support ACHI so the speed is so slow? b) Any effect by using it for dual OS booting? Using it with 3 partitions : OSX Lion 1\| Lion 2\| Win7 c) besides, TRIM is enabled inside Win 7. This partition is about 60GB. But inside OSX cant support TRIM. In this situation, TRIM is covered 60GB under Win 7 or is covered whole SSD?
