AHCI YES / NO is a favorite topic of discussion with ICH7.

Since I spend some time modding bioses in the LGA775 universe, I keep the little truth table below on file to remind me how the game goes in the ICH7 solarsystem, in case I ever forget:
--

AHCI STATUS with ICH7 SouthBridge family members ...

ICH7 --> NO ... [fake AHCI if AHCI option re-enabled in BIOS Setup]
ICH7B --> NO ... [fake AHCI if AHCI option re-enabled in BIOS Setup]
ICH7R --> YES ... [working AHCI]
ICH7DH --> YES ... [working AHCI]
ICH7M --> YES ... [working AHCI]

I revisited ICH7 yesterday, for BIOS modding, as seen here :

I can confirm the ICH7 Truth Table still accurately describes the situation, years later. =)
