Thanks for the heads up bing

My pleasure ! :)

You know, I'm kinda "if its not broken, don't fix it" type of guy, especially for software. But everytime after I read Intel's update on their ICHxR driver, dunno, they're so convincing and made me did the upgrade, although I never experienced any single problems they mentioned in their release notes. :shrug:

Maybe I'm lucky ? or not hard enuf to tinker with my rig ? :D

This combined with the new ASUS BIOS for my P5B-E + P5B-Dlx WiFi should make SATA Hot-Swap perfecto!
