When installing Windows it's important to configure your SSD in the BIOS as AHCI instead of IDE. I didn't know and went back and fixed it. (registry hacks for the win) These are benchmarks before and after. I don't know what the numbers mean, but higher is always better amirite? BEFORE AFTER
Hm, most newer monhboards I have installed with an SSD (say over the last two years or so) have defaulted to AHCI mode.
