Hi! 

I have a similar controller to yours and did some research recently. It seems 
that (allmost) all ICH7 controllers do support AHCI [1]. But I cannot 
activate AHCI anywhere in the BIOS. It seems this is due to some limitations 
of the BIOS.
There was also a thread on another mailing list where it was suggested to 
update the BIOS. I'm currently pondering to do so but I'm not sure about how 
safe it is without having a winxp installation... Besides I'm not sure 
whether it would help.
