AHCI vs. ATA

I installed 64 bit vista ultimate on my m1330 and in the process I had to change from AHCI in the bios to ATA because windows would not boot. I am just wondering if it is any problem just leaving it in ATA? I think AHCI is suppose to perform better but I really saw no difference between the two. So do you think it would be ok to just stay with ATA?

thanks

My computer works just fine in ATA, I have no BSOD and everything is great, I am just wondering if it is much better to have AHCI or if i'll be fine leaving it as it is.

there has been some that stated you should enable ahci in the bios before installing vista, and not after you install vista
