Hi, idk if this is the place to post this but i am in need of help Big Grin.
I have recently just got a new ssd drive with trim, and installed windows 7 on it.
I wanted to change the sata controller to AHCI, but as i went through the setup in the bios, the only options i could choose for it was sata 1+2 and sata 1 and disabled. So, I decided to look for a bios update for my MO, knowing that it is a bit old. I thought this would fix my problem. But then, another problem arose and it looks like I can't find a proper update for my bios. Right now it is 5.13 and I think its a Award Phoniex. The mo is Asus M2N68-LA , and it is from a set hp computer I bought. I tried the bios updates on the hp site itself, but all they say is my computer doesnt reach the requirements for the bios update. Do I really need a bios update so I can activate this trim option / ahci and if I do, where can I get one Big Grin. Thanks!

PS. tell me if its in wrong section Big Grin

What HP model is this? When and where do you get the message about the board not qualifying for the bios update?

This Bios update is not listed for your computer system. It may be designed for a motherboard of the same name but of a different revision thus it may not work at all on your board.
