Installed Windows 7 on my new Intel x25 Gb. Checklist?

[techs]

Here's what I did immediately. Anyone have any opinions?

Updated to latest firmware (took just a minute or two, is that normal?), then installed Windows 7.

Then:

Verified Trim using: fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
Turned off Disk Defragmenter.
Turned off System Restore.
Turned off Indexing.
Installed Intel SSD toolbox
Ran Intel Optimizer. Took about 3 seconds (is that usual?)

Are these the appropriate steps to take?

Do a quick benchmark with AS SSD : http://alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloads.php?cat_id=4

That should confirm that your set up is correct.

Here it is.

My scores look almost the same as the programs website which used the same drive for their sample. The slight differences are probably due to having different chipset controllers in our computers.
