Is there any trick to getting AHCI to work on this board? (hell is it even useful?)

When i orignally put the system together the sata settings were ENHANCED and IDE.. and i was installing windows again (formatting the drive) so i thot to go with AHCI .. and i got a BSOD during installation with the code 0x0000007B.

Anyone running their drives in AHCI? any advantage to doing so?

Thanks!
