    Search on SATA. You may have a BIOS option.

    You need to slipstream the SATA drivers into a new CD, or use a floppy disk and load the SATA drivers to perform the 'F6' installation method.

    not worse fps, but there is not much hardware support for XP64. No drivers etc.

    XP X64 is using a server core (Server 2003 X64) so yeah there is less support and most importantly, you need to get server liscense for security softwares (except the free ones of course)
