Hi all,

We just got 2x Mtron 32Gb SSD Pro.
We actually want to install it on an Intel DG33TL motherboard and QX6700 processor.

We had no success to install Windows XP on those drive in striped mode using Intel onboard raid controller. We know of the ICH9R 80mb/s limitation but did not understand why we could'nt install windows on it even with ICH9R disk driver.

Most of the recommended raid controller are either x4 or extended PCI.
For our purpose, we are constraint to a microATX motherboard. Most of the mATX, they only have PCI and PCI-e1. We are willing to get another matx motherboard.

So here we are, asking for help.
For best performance of the SSDs, what do you recommend for matx motherboard and raid controller?

Any help would be appreciated!

Best regards,
