2 years ago I bought an OCZ Vertex 2 drive that I installed in my C2D powered computer. It was my first SSD install and it took me quite a bit of time to get it up and running optimally.
I was unable to install Win 7 until I discovered I needed to download an Intel RST driver. I also I had to tweak my BIOS to use ACHI.
I was also recommended several minor modifications to optimize system operation. I do not remember exactly everything I changed but I do remember that it was recommended to move the temporary internet files to a folder located on a HD instead of keeping it on the SSD.
Is it still as complicated to install an SSD? What are the main things I need to do?
Does Win 8 make things easier?
I plan to build a new machine with an i3-3225 processor. I am not a gamer and the i3 will be powerful enough for my needs.
