** Yesterday stumbled on this article for W7 setting AHCI instead of IDE (if the device can) http://tweaks.com/articles/44119/improve-sata...convert-from-ide-to-ahci/ If the computer has the ability, apply at own risk! Mine has not in the BIOS, though is has a SATA drive with thin cable connector (not the huge fat flat know for IDE). No BIOS update available. AHCI is only available on Intel Chipset. The chipset make it complicated as the SATA drive runs on IDE mode (PATA). While in Nvidia's chipset, SATA is SATA, IDE is IDE. Also to add a note, IDE is the default settings. So If you didn't change anything in the bios, your SATA drive is running like your old Parallel ATA (PATA) AHCI is also available on AMD boards.

Just finished 19 Beta WU's with only 2 going to 12 hour cut off. I actually had one WU finish after just 22 minutes. :|  |

Last round of BETA ran just fine on all my hosts. I did restrict to no more than 4 WUs to ran simultaneously.

I will be shocked to get even 1 repair WU as the chances to get one could be 1 in 50 (or 1 in 10 or 1 in 1,000; who knows)The Beta WU are just like boiling a kettle. Don't watch it; Don't wait for it; Don't peg your hopes and dreams on getting one; Ignore it and all of a sudden it will be there. |

either i'm just lucky or win betas are fairly easy to get. in the last 12 months i got 12 betas, 3 of them in the last few days.
but, as for the previous post, all 3 of them are repair units ;) |
