I have just installed a Samsung 830 128GB SSD on my P5Q-E Q6600 SATA2 Win7-64bit system, and below is the driver it's currently using and current benchmark:

I have heard it's better to use Intel RST drivers?

Can someone post the link to which one I should be installing, thanks.

Not too bothered - system feels plenty fast and snappy. Thanks for your help.
