It's a Windows' world

You want to do amateur or power-level computing? Then there is no other choice than Windows! Period. As a Windows user you don't have to spend tons of a money for a Mac PC (sorry Mac guys but Mac is nothing else than an expensive PC now) and you don't have to waste time on forums to learn how install stuff. All that Linux/Mac can offer you can get on Windows and get is better. I spent many years working with Linux but it was always only my second choice. Sorry Linux friends, but I said it.

Switch from IDE to AHCI

It looks it is possible to switch from IDE to AHCI after Windows was installed in IDE mode.
All you have to do is to change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\msahci\Start key from 3 to 0.
The details are here: http://ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?69682-Change-from-IDE-to-AHCI-after-Installation

Increase in performance due to AHCI is minor (few percents) while the problems created by this new technology are gigantic (compared with IDE) especially if you use Windows XP!
Think twice if you want to invest the time to activate AHCI.
