Hardly.

RAID cards can be had for $17, it has nothing to do with same chipset
as it applies here, which was only a question of whether to switch
boards to GET the onboard raid, or rather to keep same chipset.

It is not difficult to get XP running with a different chipset, a RAID
card, or whatever... don't let XP lull you into a daze, take control
of your PC and learn how to configure it.

what can I tell you, 2 years ago they were about $100, they have come down
quite a bit

I was referring to the mb chipset, not the raid card

sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I wouldn't recommend it
