Question: Does the update driver "motherboard_driver_ahci_nvidia_mcp68_bootdisk_win7-64bit" allow Ga-M68M-S2p (rev. 2.3)  mother board to enable AHCI mode?

AHCI mode (if available) would be enabled in BIOS.  The device driver wouldn't enable it as such, it would make it functional once enabled.

It says it doesn't however why would there be a update for it?
Does that only apply in raid mode?
