For 12 years my Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz tinkers on a Asus P4G8X Deluxe, one of the first motherboards with integrated SATA ports at all. By today's standards nothing special, but absolutely reliable. It was some time realized that the SATA 1 drives are the brakes in the system and after the transfer of the installation on the 128GB SSD370 showed also how massive it was. Unlike the old hard drives (max 60 MB / s), this SSD to SATA-1 bus full use and access times are not practically non-existent. This is only the start time of the installed WinXP has to one-fifth (!) Reduced compared to before! You had earlier when you start a program to bring patience, because the hard drives were working, now the application will open almost immediately. It's almost scary what develops the old fighters at once in power.
The installation of the SSD was absolutely no problem. The SSD connected in the supplied mounting frame and this is screwed into a hard disk slot of the housing, the two SATA cables and switched on. The SSD was immediately recognized by the motherboard and partitioned problems under WinXP and formatted. After installing the HDD, the HDD was still made by Aomei Partition Assistant's the partition alignment for WinXP fit, dubbed, then expanded, the prefetch and indexing services decommissioned and ready. Runs like a dream.
