Nice thread, thanks for consolidating all this info for us! I'm gonna put some time into tweaking my system this weekend and see if I can break my current high of 717. These tips should help. 🙂

I just wanted to mention that, for me, enabling the Dynamic Storage Accelerator in the BIOS seems to have given me a decent little bump in multitasking. I need to test a little more to be sure. It might not do anything when certain power saving features are disabled. I'll have to double check my settings and get back. Maybe someone else with an SSD can enlighten me and/or verify this one way or the other.

Does anyone else go to Control Pannel-System-Advanced system settings (on bottom left) and in visual effects on the pane that pops up click settings and set for optimum performance...? or does diagnostic mode take care of this?

[IM2L844]

I do, Arne, and it helps. Windows 8 seems to need something in particular to be running. I get slightly worse scores in diagnostic mode. It might have something to do with the SSD Power scheme? I think I'm going to go through services.msc with a fine toothed comb and disable or set to manual everything I don't absolutely need running at startup and see if that makes a difference.
