Thank you all for the information.

It tells me I'm not administrator. In control panel User Accounts I'm Administrator.

I have a new system with an SSD. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Now my question is this. I know that 7 is supposed to handle Trim on the SSD when the system is idle. First of all will a screen saver be ok? Also how do I know Trim is in fact working?

Thank you Chief.

I have a new system with a 256 gb Crucial M4 and would like to know if there is some way to check the firmware version. When I got the SSD it said 009 . The 9 looked to be put on with a sharpy over the i think 3.

That information is for Win 7. I am sorry that I didn't mention I am using XP.

I have an older X58 system with I7-920 processor. I have recently upgraded to a Intel SSD. That is when I realized that I needed to be in AHCI mode. Is it possible to go into BIOS and change to AHCI without loosing everything? I would sure hate to have to reload .

Thank you Danny.

I built a new system with an AsRock P67 Extreme4 Gen 3 . On this mobo is there anything you have to set up in BIOS to install a video card?

Thank you.

I built a system AsRock P76 Extreme4 Gen3 I7-2700 overclocked to 4.7. When idling it runs 1.6. Now my wife plays Farmville on Facebook and she says it is slow. Does the fact that it idles down that far,slow her farming? Is there anyway to raise the idle speed to ,say 2.8 ?

I have two computers with Win.XP and Intel SSDs. I use the Intel Toolbox to clean them. Question #1 is, will the Intel Toolbox work on any other brands? Question #2 does any other SSD manufacturer have their own toolbox? And question #3 is can you use the Toolbox with Windows 7?
