I'm using Afterburner to overclock, but the voltage always jumps down to 1.125v when I click Apply (after setting it higher). I already flashed my firmware to allow for a higher voltage, and I also modified the afterburner.cfg to allow for "unofficial overclocking." What else can I try? I've...

Lower write speed won't affect gaming at all. Intel x25-m is a great drive. The high random reads are what makes the computing experience snappy/quick/fast/responsive. Applications and games load extremely fast. The lower write speed only matters if you're copying large files to the SSD. Even...

If you choose not to get it, will you tell me where to buy it for that price? thanks

Where did you find a 160GB for $250? But yes it's a huge improvement in load times. I have the 80GB and it's very noticeable coming from my WD blacks in RAID0.

I'd advise the G2 instead because it supports TRIM, which keeps your drive running 95-100% speed instead of degrading over time.

What about prefetch and superfetch? I changed a couple registry values from 3 to 0 according to some Windows 7 SSD tweak guide. Should I set them back to defaults? I read that 7 is supposed to disable them on most SSD's, but the registry showed them as enabled. Does it passively disable them...

What happens when you run the Intel SSD Toolbox? Mine lists my SSD and the 2 drives in the raid. The 2 raid drives are grayed out, but the SSD is selected and I can run the optimizer. and then

This also happened before I did a secure erase of my SSD. I haven't experienced any stuttering since doing that and installing a fresh windows 7 (but it's only been a day). Btw, are you saying that if/when we experience mouse stutter, then the equivalent on a regular HD would be an hourglass...

I have the Intel X25-M 80GB G2. I have experienced very slight stuttering (mouse movement freezes then skips to new location) when installing something and maybe dragging a program window around. Would this be eliminated by raiding my SSD with another 80GB (raid0)?

I'm using the MSM drivers but I'm able to run the Intel Toolbox and run the optimizer (TRIM). I have the SSD connected to the ICH8-R controller and also 2 HD's connected in a RAID on the same controller. Running in Raid mode obviously. What is your setup?
