should change title to SSD specific drives...or clarify steps
In my opinion this thread should be removed, unless somebody specifies exactly which products apply. "Ver 1.2" is meaningless unless you know which version and product is considered and how do I find out which version comes on ones SSD.
i.e.
Step 1. Use this software to ID your product version...
I am kicking myself for having followed these "Tweaks", blindly. I just bought (Aug. 2010) and installed a 120 GB Phoenix Pro, and the tweak that suggest to "update" the nForce driver to a generic AHCI is absolutely a poor recommendation. For one, it turns all your system drives (under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) into ejectable drives. How on earth is this going to "improve" my SSD performance when I accidently eject my main drive instead of a flash drive/thumb drive. I was simply furious to see this happen. Why would you make this even a sticky thread?
Since I own a business machine, I am less than impressed with the mess I have of my system now; unlike others, I don't have time to reinstall Windows five times a day. I have enough of my stupidity, I don't need to explain myself to an Adobe or Autodesk customer resps why I need to obtain already maxed-out installation codes to reinstall the products...sigh.
I have learned my lesson here, and from now on I shall be thinking twice before following any advice on this forum. Shame on me for being gullible and shame on you GSKILL admins for not checking through these sticky threads.
