Well, it looks like the SSD is just flat out incompatible with my eVGA 750i FTW board. I ran into another guy who had the same combo and same result. He had 3 Kingston techs scratching their collective heads until he threw in the towel and got a Raptor 300 to resolve the problem.
I ended up trying the SSD on my long overdue Phenom II 965 B.E. build (that was a freebie too, if you remember that thread). Spent hours on it last night and this morning to work out the bugs, and its sitting here naked on the workbench aside of me (my 8800GTS video card was the culprit last night).
End result - its functional at last. The SSD is not very optimized for the old AM2 Asus board I'm using (no AHCI support), but to give you an idea how fast the SSDs are, I installed Acrobat Reader X in 9 seconds flat ... try that on a HD and see how long it takes to install it
Ohh, and did I mention I REALLY dislike Firefox 4 ??? ughhhh ..
