ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

Ok, this is strange......I took my 2 80gig drives and hooked them up to my Abit Quad GT and created a raid 0 array. Then I hooked them up to my Asus board and installed xp pro. All seems to be going well. I was able to do a disk defrag and a norton internet security full system scan. Both of these would cause a blue screen reboot before. This leads me to believe the raid issues are a bios problem and not a problem with the board 'cos the intel matrix manager that creates the array is in the bios isn't it? If this is the case someone needs to let Asus know so they can fix the bios for us! I am going to let the system run over the weekend because my rma number is still good for 10 days. Sure hope I don't have any more errors! The board I have now does my current settings with all voltages except for vdimm & vcore set to auto and there is 0.000v drop at 100% load at 1.328v

isn't the Intel Matrix Storage Manager a separate program that is installed in Windows?...i believe i tried that on my Abit QuadGT board and it gave me all sorts of problems with freezing windows...once uninstalled, everything was operating smoothly.
