Win7 64bit http://ee.giga-byte.com/products/mb/...tml?os=win7_64

For RAID download the "AMD AMD SATA RAID Driver (Preinstall driver, press F6 during Windows* setup to read from floppy)"

Good luck.

Hey mate, those are very nice scores with CDM and AS SSD. Don't worry about ATTO - it does not work accurately with SSDs. I'm happy to see 1000MBs bandwidth for onboard budget controller. Great job. As far as why your intermediate scores were low... As someone accurately suggested you should have reset drives using HDDErase between the benchies and OS should run on the different drive. I have Hitachi 2TB hdd with Win7 for running benchmarks. After major change to the array (NCQ, stripe, RAID ROM, RAID drivers) I perform HDDErase and run new set of benchies. That's the magic sauce.

@ [XC] Oj101
That might be true regarding HDD performance degradation with HDD. I've noticed that SSDs benefit from it at least on ICH10R and SB850.

Cheers!

P.S. There is F8 BIOS out for rev 1.0 of the board that has new RAID ROM. Will test it out shortly. Cheers.
Thx for the reply unfortunately gave it a try already the same even got desperate enough to try the ahci driver despite being a whole different thing went online and google a bit more then i found this thread, details of how this guy does his radi on his asus mobo and the problem that plague others in raid 0 lol so here is the link if u pls give it some time reading it and thx again wont stop till i get the raid sucessfully raidED ^_^ http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...hreadid=121333

This is just one of the many example people are facing problem as mention by the person with asus board all he did was putting in the bios from asus site onto the thumbdrive and voila everything works but there is just some of us guys that do accordingly to the instruction and somewhere still went wrong therefore i ask for a detail explanation but pls do it on ur free time triple thx ^_^
