The SATA IDE Mode for at least seems to stall and had a busy hourglass when I boot into the login screen. After login the hourglass shows up again for another 8 seconds. It seems that the response is a little slow in IDE Mode. When I click on Internet explorer it shows the hourglass for another 6 seconds. It happened on both my P5K and P5K-E so I used AHCI mode and all the problems are gone. I only have on hard drive and it is a Seagate 7200.11 500GB drive. It seems that the emulation mode of IDE is slower than in AHCI as it might be using the hardware.
