I have to caution against doing raid on the motherboard. Yes it's fast, and yes it makes it easy (windows only see one virtual drive). But I have just had a rather bad experience with attempting to replace a failed drive in my raid 1 setup. and I ran across 3 main gripes

1) these things are not often updated, and may have a list of known issues as long as your arm

2) there is no competitive pressure to drive reliability or feature sets

3) the companies making the raid controller don't do this for a living. there will be problems

so if you are going to do raid, get it setup via software. much easier to manage/upgrade/deal with.
