Well I think SATA is still considered as IDE isnt it... I don't see that as a problem. As far as performance wise, did you bench it with sandra or something?

You might want to check around your bios a bit for some other settings you missed?.
I had a setting in mine that was disabled by default and when i turned it on the speed improved some.
