TweaksRUs has finally released their modded version of nVidia's Forceware 81.84; the XTreme-G 81.84.v2 drivers.

Intel Matrix Storage Technology includes support for Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), providing advanced features such as native command queuing, hot plug, and power management. Native command queuing, when paired with capable hard disk drives, increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands. This provides increased performance for today's multi tasking environments and demanding applications.

A couple of days ago nVidia released their much talked about ForceWare Release 80 graphics card driver to the world.

Read on for the answers!
