Setting up Intel SSD Gen 2 with new mobo. What settings?

Hi guys. I just got the Gigabyte EX58-UD3R mobo. So far, so good. I will soon setup Win 7 with the Intel 80GB SSD Gen 2 drive and there are 3 BIOS settings that seem a bit redundant:

1 -SATA RAID/AHCI MODE (set to disabled as I will not be doing any RAID)
2 -ONBOARD SATA/IDE DEVICE (set to Enabled)
3 -ONBOARD SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode (set to AHCI)

For the drive & TRIM support to properly work, are the above settings correct? Numbers 1 &3 seem to almost be the same thing, or so it sounds....??
 
Thise settings should be fine. Setting 1 only enables/disables raid, setting 3 enables Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) which supports things like NCQ on the drive. Just make sure you use Win 7 native SATA/ACHI drivers for TRIM support.
