Did you have to reinstall your programs?
I did clean installs with the beta Win8s. I'll buy Win8 next month when I

Can you turn off the Intel Acceleration and make the mSATA card "available"
as a normal drive so its partition shows in Disk Management? We'd prefer to
not use it as a cache.
Thanks.

I assume the answer is "No".

Does Dell make any computers with these motherboards? The computers I looked
at mentioned SATA 3.0 and a Dell rep mistakenly told me that it meant SATA
3.

I don't bother hiding the SSID as it gives you no extra security. No-one is
going to get past your WPA2 even if they sit outside your house for a few
years.
