outdated motherboard
i recently installed a samsung 850 pro 256gb into my desktop computer, which i built 7 years ago. i was disapointed at the read and write numbers [380-350]. the problem is the motherboard. it is a msi 870a g54. it has no settings in the bios from ide to ahci. my cpu is phenom ii x4 955 be. the ram is ddr3. recommendations would be appreciated. i'm thinking of replacing the motherboard. newer boards have am3+/am3, but have ahci option. please comment. i want to make sure i'm making the right decision.
thank you pothound
