Would using XP default driver instead of the Sata driver supplied with the motherboard make any difference in term of performance?
Right now I am forced to use the Windows driver since the supplied driver freeze my system after a few minutes.

My guess is, it won't. Maybe, if you were using RAID...

I have had driver problems with motherboards using the same chipset
Either way the drives seem to perform OK, they certainly dont suck like the old VIA, SiS, Ali chipsets of the past when not using the correct driver.
