Want to use Extreme II with XP. Suggestions?

Drlucky, thanks for the response.  I was beginning to think there was noone here!  :) 

Is there a more active community for the Extreme II somewhere?

I know about the advantages of Win 7 and someday I’ll do it but for now, I need to get back up and running after my OCZ Vertex drive died.

I was planning on doing the same thing I did 3 years ago when I started using the OCZ, which is basically using diskpart to align the Extreme II in another machine and formatting it, then do a fresh install.

Cool?

Are TRIM and AHCI worth persuing?  I don’t need any more performance, in other words I’m not looking to split hairs a get slightly faster.

Thanks!
