Its very likely that it doesn't run. If your board has a 2nd chip on board i.e. via re driver then you can use at least this one. -current driver and never linux drivers from nVidia also doesn't solve the problems with the guy I know with his nVidia4 based board. > SATA-Raid is not need, allthough it would certanly nice to have it.
