"options ATA_CAM" enables wrapper for existing ata(4) controller
drivers, that do not support command queuing. All this option give to
you is switching to newer bus management and peripheral code.

If NCQ was supported, you would also see there lines:

To support MCQ you should use one of new drivers: ahci(4), siis(4) or
mvs(4) on supported hardware. As I can see, your board is based on
nForce4 chipset, which supports NCQ in own proprietary way, which is not
supported at the moment and unlikely will be ever supported, as it is
quite old already and all later chisets are AHCI compatible instead of it.
