Default new system with P5B-e... should I set SATA to AHCI?

Building a new system using the P5B-e and two identical 320 Gig SATA 2 drives. I decided to not use a raid, just want drives C: and
E:

So, my question is, I can set the ROM BIOS where it says

SATA as... IDE, RAID, or AHCI.

Is there any advantage to setting this to AHCI (performance wise)? I know you should set this before installing XP, and so I'm
waiting for an answer.

Thanks.

Set to enabled.
It gives NCQ feature , performance as I see is equal to standard IDE mode.
