New build...need advice

[wikidlad]

Turning to the experts here.....

I have got all the parts I need for my new build but this is the first time I have done one with an SSD. Looking through the forums I see lots of subjects on SSD's but none relevant to my motherboard. Do I need to install the SSD as AHCI or IDE ?

Intel X-25M 80GB SSD

Asus P6X58D Motherboard



The SSD is going to be my OS (Windows 7) and fave games and the HD will be storage.


Thanks in advance

AHCI

Either will work.

Either will work, AHCI gives hot swap, NCQ, etc...
Use AHCI
