    I hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question,anyway, my SSD is sata 3 so I'm not getting the full potential cause this is a sata2 pc. Is there any way to change it to sata3 or does that mean changing the mobo? Thank you

    The M15x mobo doesn't support sata 3 unfortunately. There hasn't been a known way to implement this, otherwise we'd all be doing it :D
    PS Don't worry that wasn't a dumb question :)

    Yeah, the mobo of the M15x doesn't have a SATA 3 controller... no way to hack this together :(
    Oh I'd love to see a SB mobo for this great system...
