M4 SSD upgrade firmware before or after OS?

[markymoo]

Ok so tomorrow I am building my new system (if it all arrives) and have got the M4 Crusial SSD.

I see there is an update 009 (I think) that increases read and write times. Before I install windows am I best to update the firmware?

Ie. Plug SSD out of box to my current system, upgrade the firmware and then build my new system and when it boots up windows installation will take care of rest?
OR
Install windows with new system and then update forward after?

Over to the guys in the know also if it's the first one, updating the firmware won't alter the SSD in anyway and will be able to just build pc and install with no problems!?

Thanks guys, will attach to my current system that is in IDE mode and update it, then will take all old parts out, install my i5 stuff and then boot it up with just SSD attached, change bios to AHCI, then put installation of windows 64 in DVD drive (inset this as first boot in bios?) and let windows install and do rest.

Do Windows Score check (heard this tweaks ya SSD and also turns off defrag etc)

Then disable Hybernate.

Then am guessing everything else will be god to go am guessing? (well then update motherboard, then graphics firmware)

That sound bout right?
