I just finished building the following rig for my dad to surprise him tomorrow for Thanksgiving:
AMD Sempron 145
BIOSTAR A780L3B
Thermaltake VM54521N2U V2 ATX Mid Tower Case
THERMALTAKE 450 PSU
RAM 4 GB
80MM FANS [2]
120MM FANS [2]
DVD BURNER
OCZ 120GB SSD
Good news: built went real easy and cost less than $150 even though everything is brand new.
Bad News: I thought for sure I found the correct place in BIOS to set the SSD for ACHI. Instead, I just noticed it is set for IDE on the SSD.
I installed Windows 8 Professional 32-bit as the OS.
Can someone help me discover how to change the BIOS to ACHI for the SSD?
I think I did it before and had to change the registry. Not sure now how to do it...esp. with Windows 8 and a cheap BIOSTAR MB.
Please help me if you can.
Thanks,
Soar
PS Windows 8 Professional is working real well!
