dude your board doesn't support sata drives??? there is no special configuration man.
you did not notice difference because you made no difference

a 7200 rpm sata drive performs better than IDE but it is only noticeable during big disk writes like rendering on photoshop.
but a 10k rpm drive is like having scsi well some will say it is faster than scsi.
i did away with ide all together just having a slave drive on the same ide cable slows everything down.
