This may be a fairly easy question to answer but I cannot find any details in the manual.

I am repairing a Very Very slow Veriton M265 for a customer. The main problem is only 1Gb of installed memory for Windows 7 32bit and onboard graphics!!!  However I also noticed the internal SATA hard drive is listed in Device manager as ATA UDMA 5 Mode!!

When I look at the options in the bios I can only find Compatbility or Enhanced Modes for the SATA controller and no apparent way to change to AHCI mode. I have checked the registry in Windows 7 and AHCI is NOT enabled.

Can anyone tell me what Enhanced mode is and can the bios (or later versions vA0 installed but A3 available) be changed to AHCI?

Check if the latest BIOS is installed, maybe this will add the option:

Thanks IronFly,

Updated bios but bo option for AHCI. Must be a budget system. At least a memory upgrade will help usability.
