BIOS set to AHCI, but software not recognising it?

[taltamir]

install windows 7

[bramke]

i will try to install thru usb stick cause that seems to give better results
but can u tell me wich driver to slipstream?
my mother board is gigabyte ga-p55a-ud4 ver1
and this is the selection of drivers

[bramke]

i checked at ide driver wich one the ide is using
and it said intel 5 series /3400 series

so i slipstreamed the intel 5 series/3400 series ahci driver into windows xp 64
but when i use this slipstreamed disk
at setup windows don't find any hard disk

any help plz?
i would like this windows on my ssd , i don't need all the services windows 7 provides wich lowers my fps in games in the end

It doesn't seem to say what southbridge it uses so I don't know which you should install.

if you use windows 7 you don't NEED to slipstream any drivers. All the drivers you need are built in.

[bramke]

ive tryed windows 7 but that stutters in games
even tho i have high end hardware
it's like windows 7 isn't designed for games
and i have tryed windows 8 aswel wich is faster then windows 7
and with this http://softwareguidesandtutorials.blogspot.be/
same invoirement as windows 7
in windows xp i get double fps
i would like to know what driver i have to slipstream

its not read some forums win xp is still fastest fps gamer with dx9

its just unable to play new games because microsoft wants us to use windows 7
probaly because they can hack it easyier !

i do know some ppl claim the opposite with benchmark
where there are other sites that ppl claim with benchmark tests xp is faster , idk what they did they probaly didnt install there motherboard drivers etc because thats so not treu if u just play one time a game on my system with xp u feel the difference instantly !!!

Read forums? I read professional reviews where benchmarks were given to PROVE that win7 is faster. And yes, even in DX9...
Also, DX9 is no longer relevant. DX9 era games do not have the demanding graphics of modern DX10 and 11 games. Which, btw, look a LOT better than DX9.
Also with a modern video card DX9 games have their FPS limited by your monitor. Its DX10+ games which are demanding enough for FPS to matter.

dude i don't want to insult u , but u live in a lie

http://www.overclock.net/t/1292746/w...ng-performance

and this is just one forum that states xp is better

no, thats one TEST, there is a difference.

The vast majority of tests favor win7 over XP. the fact that you can find singular tests does not change that fact.

Furthermore, the quality of this particular test is unknown. I have no idea who "tahayassen" and what he knows about proper testing.

The size of the discrepancy suggests that he was doing something wrong.

[bramke]

btw i solved my ahci driver problem , i tryed all of them of the gigabyte website none worked

i contacted a friend whos russian and own a pc shop where i live

i went to him and he made me a version of windows xp 64 with all possible sata /ahci drivers included
and that disk works


btw about windows 7 vs windows xp i don't speak about benchmark sites who do prove windows xp has more fps in games
i speak about own expierence
if you havent tryed windows xp on your system i suggest u remain silent because u have no idea what u talking about !!

1. Benchmarks > Placebo
2. Of course I tried it myself. Windows 7 is faster.

man everyone is out to get me on this forum,,,, sh*T.l

I wonder why that is.....don't you?

..have u tryed xp x64 on your current hardware , and played any fps games?
with settings in your grafic card all on performance?

btw i don't think u read what i say???!

xp is also faster in benchmarks

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ming/page3.asp

can u give me one site where it says windows 7 has better benchmark then xp?

XP x64 is actually windows server 2003, stripped down of some unnecessary features and given a fresh coat of paint. I had used it for several years (I tested vista but chose to stay with XP x64 until win7). XPx64 is very different than XP 32bit and came out quite some time later.
I had used both XPs for a long time.

I have not test them with my CURRENT hardware because I upgrade my hardware every few months and I switched to Win7 (after testing) quite some time ago (win7 is 3 years old!...).
I did compare them with hardware I have had before. I hightly doubt that the figures I got with my C2Q are no longer applicable for my i7. Expecially since IIRC you are still using a Core2 yourself.

btw i don't think u read what i say???!

I do read what you say, I just think you are wrong. Repeating yourself wouldn't change my opinion, giving me benchmarks would. (and please, something more reliable then "some guy in a forum" testing a single game)

plz click below on the (forum)and click next its not 1 game he test it's different games he test
i can give u plenty other sites
just type in google windows 7 vs windows xp gaming

i happen to play several games including newly released natural selection 2
just read there forum there are tons of ppl having stuttering in this game
check in google , stuttering in natural selection 2
they all have i5 or i7 proccecors
and cards like me ati hd5870
it's windows 7 causing the troubles and maybe directx
i switched windows and i don't have it anymore + i have 170 fps
i'm gonna make a video soon on youtube of it then ppl gonna believe me and probaly gonna switch
windows xp is still master of NEW games
i'm keeping dx9 for the time it's possible
there is a dx10 version for windows xp but i don't use this version
dude i would be happy if windows 7 was better but it isn't
i realy would be happy because i realize there will come an end to windows xp
and windows 8 is pretty fun with the plug and play options
unless some hackers take over the updates for windows xp that would be a dream

I am very patient man but my patience is not infinite. You have been patronizing me for the last 10 posts because I disagree with your unfounded claim that goes against every professional benchmark I saw.

Stop doing that and start discussing things in a civil manner or I am just going to put you on ignore.

And please dear god stop butchering the english language. Is typing out "you" instead of "u" really so hard?

So, you can tell by my name I am NOT a native english speaker and that upsets you?
You mean you ARE a native speaker? I assumed you were not (like me)... Note I never criticized you on that (it is natural to make such errors) but on the most egregious of butchery of language. Using "U" instead of "you" is not a "mistake" someone makes due to being a non native speaker. It is a choice.

-Tested one single game (in 2010, so, older drivers, older hardware), in that one game 7 < Vista < XP in DX9. However as they pointed out, in that one single game performance was really high on all the OS so it doesn't matter (just like I had previously claimed, DX9 gaming is obsolete)

Another forum post. This seems to actually be a proper benchmark, shows Call of Duty: Black Ops DX9 results to be faster on XP... However, the FPS was obscenely high on all tests. Over 60 min FPS in all tests except one where it dropped a whopping 57 min FPS (average FPS was in the triple digits). As I said, with modern hardware DX9 is "fast enough" and DX10 looks a lot better

- Youtube videos? really? talk about professional reviews. 11 and 15 minutes respectively that I am not spending. At a glance though the first video was supposed to show stutter (filmed the screen not a screen capture, ouch)... and got appropriately ripped in comments. And the second one according to comments has the issue of testing only 1024x768 res. (I am not going to waste 26 more minutes of my life on this. I already wasted too long on this)

Total ownage.

[bramke]

anyways , games stutter on windows 7/8
on my system
on windows xp they don't
i have 200 fps in natural selection 2 (recently released)
i think i'm one of the only one because most ppl have windows 7 !
so if your a gamer and your smart you downgrade , if not don't do it
i wont loose hours sleep because of that :-).

btw i think u might need a new os i could open all sites and all pictures

lol pwned i would say :]
