W7 on laptop - Configure SATA as IDE or AHCI
Hi all
In the BIOS on a laptop the disk choice can enable SATA as IDE or AHCI.
If I chose IDE do I actually lose any disk performance -- having IDE makes it easier to have Windows XP as a dual boot system without having to hunt down all the SATA drivers and slip stream an XP disk.
Remember this is a LAPTOP not a desktop so disk performance won't be that great in any case.
