Does my controller support ACHI on XP?

[ChillaxedUpgrader]

Hi everyone. Have tried searching for some info on this but nothing I've found exactly matches what I'm wondering. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that only certain ICH7s support AHCI. Below are my controller details from device manager. Does this tell me whether this system supports AHCI?

(Notes: Can't see AHCI in BIOS; XP tells me controller drivers are fully up to date)

Any help much appreciated.

DEVICE MANAGER DETAILS:

- IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers

- Intel(R) 82801G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 27DF

- Intel(R) 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27CO

it looks with the updated drivers is should do achi mode if the vendor wrote it into there bios.

Thanks Smorizio - that link was exactly what I needed. That led me to the Intel Chipset ID Utility at : http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-009266.htm

Handy if you want official confirmation of your chipset.
