Doesn't your motherboard have on board RAID controllers? If it is a SATA compatible motherboard the chances are that it does.

Re: pci raid card - which one for Raid 0
www.intel.com would have plenty of information on what your motherboard is capable of.
However, if in fact it was RAID compatible your BIOS would have an option for the device. Always boot RAID, auto, etc. You would also have to load drivers using the F6 option of the Windows Setup. |
