an AHCI driver is provided for Windows Vista by Microsoft, and for XP the AHCI driver is provided by Matrix Storage Manager (now called Intel Rapid Storage).

My SSD is running beautifully on AHCI / XP SP3 32bit using the latest Intel Rapid Storage driver (iaStor.sys) version 10.0.0.1043 beta.

Mauriceb, you know Intel Rapid Storage is Intel's AHCI driver........ right? o_O
