Yes. The performance is noticable. If you wanna enable AHCI you have to install the driver before switching it on in BIOS. After done that you're require to boot into Safe Mode first. This will not 100% work. You might get BSoD after that.
In this case you can reinstsall your O/S instead of format it. First create AHCI driver into Floppy disk from the Driver CD which came with your motherboard.
Next, reinstall your O/S by pressing F6 on the beginning of your Windows installation.

QUOTE(vearn27 @ Feb 13 2008, 02:39 PM) However, from what you mentioned regarding installing the driver in after installed the OS, switching the mode and then booting in Safe Mode to see if any BSOD appear. This seems to be like the one mentioned here: http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php...Storage+Manager ? Yes.. That's why I said.. This will not 100% working.. QUOTE But one thing is that my FDD already kaputed and I left no working FDD available with me  . Maybe I should try the Slipsteam way which mentioned here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/501772 ?  Just get a new Floppy Disk Drive for only RM25.00.. It's good to learn Slipsteam.. QUOTE I'm having HD videos on my HDD which average 2GB and above per file. Guess using AHCI mode will benefits me in this way? BTW, since I'm having 1x SATAII NCQ drive and 1x SATA Non-NCQ drive. Can both be installed on the same system with the NCQ feature enabled?  Since you have a lot of large data.. Why not you configure RAID-0 (Stripping) with System Drive Partition 4K Sector and Data Drive 64K Sector.. This will improve your performance approximately 30%..

Else... ... will try to do the Slipsteam thingy tonite  . Good luck to you yea..  QUOTE Isn't RAID requires two HDD of the same size? I have one 500GB and one 120GB leh. Anyway, will my Seagate still be able to run its NCQ thou I'm using a Non-NCQ drive on the same system? Yeah.. just get another 500GB HDD.. Haven't try NCQ before... but theoretically your motherboard can support non-NCQ..  |
