You ARE using software raid, just with some BIOS support and drivers for windows. That doesn't change it from being software raid. I think I even read in a magazine recently how eo enable software raid in win xp even though it is only supposed to be a feature in the higher server versions. There are very few hardware raid cards that do SATA. 3ware is one maker, and I think adaptec has one or two models (most of theirs are not hardware raid), and highpoint migh thave one model. The 3ware is the only one I know of with open source drivers. You certainly don't get hardware raid onboard except some very high end servers (almost always scsi). > I have no shortage of 3ware cards.

That might help your pci slot problem. On the other hand, why would you need to dual boot a machine that is used for such things?
