Too many conflicting posts in this forum!

[idata]

I've read a whole bunch of posts about IDE, AHCI, Toolbox and trim. What a mess. I can't find head from tail.So many contradictory posts. Are some people giving opinions based on posts they've read.. which might be false to being with!?

Is their some official support forum from Intel where Intel support employees can give authoratative answers or because this is a community forum anything goes? I really don't want to bother with I-am-Not-sure answers. I need definite yes or no.

I would like to see an official FAQ from intel answering the common questions. Such as.. does Trim work on IDE port or not (regardles if I should be using AHCI)

I have seen two visible camps around this question.

Here you go:

"TRIM is non-specific to either SATA controller mode, and will work equally well in both IDE and AHCI-mode."

But if you want that listed at Intel.com the fence is all yours.

Exactly.... I just said that in my post, "The Optimizer and RST are 2 of my questions because there seems to be a big debate wether they are needed are not." ( Windows 7, AHCI, X25-M, no Raid )

I haven't done either because of all the conflicting posts on it.

Peter,

I am not sure what you are saying, I should be using the RST drivers?

I looked at the chipset list, I have the P45 which is not on there.
