GA-8KNXP, Intel SATA vs Silcon Image Sata?

Don't know why I even bother to ask since it took me forever to get Intel
SATA up and running - didn't care which, just wanted one of em to work - on
my new MoBo. But I'll ask anyways, which do you folks think is better
(faster, more reliable, stable etc)? Seems like a read a review somewhere
where the reviewer liked Silicon better.

I'm also wondering why they give you both options?

I would have thought that the Intel one would be better due to the fact
they're not on the PCI bus. But i suppose this would only really show
itself when copying large amounts of data to/from a fast drive setup across
the CSA bus gigabit LAN.

I have a RAID 0 array on both of them, and to tell you the truth I didn't
even think about which one might be faster when I chose which one to use for
the array I boot to. They both work fine for me.

2 WD 36gig Raptors on the Silicon that I boot to XP Pro on, and 2 Seagate
160gig's on the Intel that I store my data on.
