    Thank you for the replies. Used a friend's system to download the toolbox and now have Windows 8 running. Only time will tell, but so far I love it. Thank you once again. Jaz

    Intel link not working?

    Thank you for the reply. I did a clean install of 7 on my spinner earlier this evening. I'm unable to access the toolbox download page. For some odd reason all I'm getting is a blank page.

    That's normal for memory to default to 1333. You'll either have to use XMP prifile or set your timings manually in the bios. Nice system by the way.

    2x128 versus 256GB...

    Thinking of upgrading to M4(s) and have a few questions.

    My main reason for starting this thread was to try and figure out whether or not I would be better off purchasing 2x 128's. They're cheaper per gig than buying a 256. It would also allow me to purchase a 2nd unit down the road. Forceman has me thinking when he said, "I just recently...

    Thinking of upgrading to M4(s) and have a few questions.
