AMD motherboard which ssd?

Here's my motherboard; http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A88TDM_EVOUSB3/#specifications

I'm looking at either the c300 or the ocz agility series unless there's another suggestion. But I don't know if my motherboard would limit the c300? Or if i'd see much difference?
Thanks

Looks like AMD chipset with AMD SATA 6 Gbps controller (no mention of Marvell), should be ideal.

Would highly recommend a C300 dude (take advantage of that Sata 6gb controller you have

)

just as long as you stay away from Intel SSD's you shouldn't have a problem using any other SSD with your mainboard.

My Intel X-25 used to dislike my AMD setup - Worked fine with my Q6600 setup, but used to give poor performance and refused to work at all with the AMD SATA drivers.

I use a OCZ Vertex 2 60GB on my CH IV, not checked the speeds but it boots and i don't get the welcome screen as its that quick. I set the ports to 6GB/s

Yeah I don't get the Welcome screen either.

Tried the MSCONFIG boot timeout change it to 3 as to 30 (3 is the lowest it'll go too). Makes boot faster. Can also set amount of CPU's and RAM.
