Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 bios questions

I'm reading through the user manual before my comp comes in and don't understand some of the bios options.

The manual says ahci offers better performance. I'm getting a crucial m4 and wd caviar black with win7 x64 ult, I can turn on ahci right? When I overclock my 2500k to 4.4ghz that won't negatively interfere with ahci?

Also I'm getting a sapphire 6950, I don't want any shared memory. I plan on disabling onboard video and onboard sound.

-memory fast boot
-memory power down mode
-hardware prefetcher
-no execute memory protection
-Local x2APIC
-onboard vga share memory
-IGD Multi-Monitor
-dvmt mode select
-dvmt memory
-acpi hpet table
-good night LED (what happens in auto?)
-check ready bit
-over temperature protection
-boot failure guard

Also which chipset/lan drivers should I go with, 32 or 64 bit? I'm just worried the 64 bit drivers would be buggy.
