New SSD install..

OK so im installing a new vertex 3 boot drive into my rig.... (X58A-UD5)

i have been doing allot of reading and have found that my mobo's marvell 9128 controller will not fully support 6.0 Gbps (sata3).

iv also read that it is a waste of time trying as this controller is a dud....

SO.... i guess i will have to run it on a ICH10R intel SATA II port.

Question 1... is this correct?

Question 2... how do i change from IDE to AHIC mode on the intel sata II controller?

thanks

(silly question really)

im running all my drives on the intel controller in [a] mode now.. seems to be good.

((no 6 megabitspersecond but ohwell, OCZ-V3 sandforce boot is lush! even at sata II !!!!))
