Too many conflicting posts in this forum!

[idata]

I've read a whole bunch of posts about IDE, AHCI, Toolbox and trim. What a mess. I can't find head from tail.So many contradictory posts. Are some people giving opinions based on posts they've read.. which might be false to being with!?

Is their some official support forum from Intel where Intel support employees can give authoratative answers or because this is a community forum anything goes? I really don't want to bother with I-am-Not-sure answers. I need definite yes or no.

I would like to see an official FAQ from intel answering the common questions. Such as.. does Trim work on IDE port or not (regardles if I should be using AHCI)

I have seen two visible camps around this question.

Is the RST software for Intel chipset only or for any chipset from any company? My motherboard uses AMD's.

RST does not apply to you the toolbox can be used on any motherboard.

So is RST for Intel chipsets only?

[idata]

...Yes RST is for Intel chipsets only.

Ok.. I wish people recommending RST to qualify that recommendation with the fact that it's only for users with Intel chipsets. I have read posts about trim working only with MS's AHCI driver or with RST. This implies I can use RST. A lot of us use Intel SSD with motherboards from other vendors like Asus and Gigabyte withg AMD CPUs.
