It also has the ability to run a system report that will tell you if your devices support NCQ native command queuing.

Forum - RE: Intel X (ESB2) AHCI/RAID driver - 2
I am running Win7 64bit without problem. I would expect it to work the same way on a Mac Pro abci I'm surprised you'd have to do anything special. Preview Download View KB.
My understanding based on working with non-Apple motherboards is that Windows 7 automagically detects ACHI and installs the drivers for it when installing to a PC motherboard.
And I, on the other hand, would advise you to not try to fix what appears to not be broken My understanding based on working with non-Apple motherboards is that Windows 7 automatically detects AHCI and installs the drivers for it when installing to a PC motherboard.

The storage manager will not install on any Mac Pro that is booting without this hack, this is because it doesn't find the right hardware for its drivers.
Licensing of the applicable draft version of the applicable specification level also defined in the contributors agreement will allow the implementation of compliant, discrete AHCI host controllers only. These are being seen as your "Standard IDE Its direct from Intel website. My admittedly limited understanding of Intel's Matrix Storage Manager driver is that it is primarily intended to support hardware firmware? I'm curious as to what chipset your Mac Pro uses and whether the Matrix drivers would even install on it.
