Make sure that SATA mode is set to AHCI in BIOS. I would also suggest the use of Middleton's modded BIOS in order to enable full SATA II speeds.
There are numerous tweaks that you can tackle once the SSD is installed to obtain the maximum performance. Good luck.

Has anyone installed an SSD drive as a hard drive replacement and are there any issues I should be aware of (BIOS settings, etc.)? I'm planning on reinstalling Windows from scratch (still trying to decide between 7 and 8). Any pioneers willing to show their battle scars or is it a simple plug and play? Thanks!
