    When installing OS , it is possible to load ACHI driver.
    From DELL driver download page is possible to download :

    Matrix Storage Manager Notebook Driver 7.5

    and from intel driver download page is possible to download latest:
    Matrix Storage Manager Notebook Driver 8.7

    [​IMG]


    When u look on this photos u will see that this drivers are not the same.
    Or their are the same but the second one is updates.

    now: CAN ANYBODY {I MEAN ANYBODY (NAY PC) WITH SYSTEM WITH ICH7, ICH8, ICH9 OR ICH10 CONTROLLER} USE THE INTEL DRIVER?

    OR IT IS BETTER TO USE DRIVER FROM MANUFACTURER DOWNLOAD PAGE {IN THIS CASE DELL}?

    support for the xps 1530 has kinda halted. nothing new since nov last year...
    that's why you will find the 8.7 for other systems and not this one...
    i usually look for drivers from other systems when i reinstall my windows, especially at the new models since they will have the newest drivers and 99% of the time they work with 1530
