Anyone notice a difference using AHCI mode?

I did a fresh format last week and this time I went the F6 method and loaded the AHCI driver to see what the benifits would be using my Seagate 320GB SataII perpendicular drive. Nothing seems to load any faster then using the normal microsoft driver without doing the F6 method. If anything, my pc takes about an extra 10 seconds to boot. I used HDtach3.0 to see whats going on, and I get 245, where as before using the regular drivers (microsoft) I get 243. Whats up with that?

AHCI is not about better performance. It is a standardized driver interface for the hardware. It supports hotswap and NCQ.
