Huh? what is the difference?Edit: make sure your BIOS is set to AHCI.
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI). Essentially it allows the SATA port to send TRIM commands, allows NCQ (native command queueing) and hot-swapping.
Also, if you can, disable hot-swapping for the port on which you put your SSD. I've only seen SandyBridge motherboards support that feature, but maybe it is possible on your motherboard.

I've got a vertex 2 which shows up in tier 10 but its super quick and no problems for almost a year now!
It's going to be a tradeoff: price vs speed

If you experience it, just change it to a SATA 3 port and you will be fine!
Edit: make sure your BIOS is set to AHCI.
When changing from the SATA6 port to the SATA3, you might have to reload windows...
Actually you can just change a registry setting, reboot, change bios setting, and you're as good as done?

The setting is in this screenshot. See GSATA and eSATA Ctrl Mode, set the Ctrl mode to AHCI rather than IDE. Also notice 2nd item from the top ICH SATA Control mode which is set to AHCI. The option 2nd from the top is the onboard SATA II ports (Intel). The other are add-in (GSATA = Gigabyte SATA). Also set the option SATA Port 0-3 Native mode to enabled (3rd from top).
Not with your motherboard, only Sandybridge. In any case running without it is preferable IMHO. On Sandybridge based motherboards I install no SATA drivers.
