Command Queuing

I have a Raptor and an Asus P4P800-e Deluxe mainboard. I want to turn NCQ on to boost the performance of the drive, but I can't figure out how. Anyone here know?
 
Mine is the super dual turbo solid 14K Gold sans plastic (the 24K model was extra) deluxe 289HP .351 CI WDC WD740GD-00FLA0 (but I don't know what those last numbers mean).

Thanks for any help. :)
 
Ok, so how to enable TCQ? And here's what SiSoft says:

Warning W3104 - Current transfer mode not optimal, i.e. not highest supported. This affects drive performance. If the controller is also capable of the highest supported transfer mode, there is no reason not to use it.

Fix: First check controller supported transfer modes. Then check the mode the driver for the controller/BIOS is set to use and modify; some default to a lower mode for compatibility. You may need to install newer drivers if the current drivers do not natively support the controller (especially for RAID). You may need to update the controller BIOS or drive firmware, if the mode does not stick. If data corruption occurs verify the cable and consider switching (if any) drives on the same channel onto other channels.

If the built-in controller does not support the mode, consider using the on-board/RAID controller or even disable the built-in controller and install a new controller.
