why the hate?
google for it... there is plenty of info on it.

any type of raid built into the motherboard is considered sofware raid.
it also uses your cpu.
hardware raid uses a separate piece of hardware, a raid controller, with its own cpu.

you can kind of think of it as integrated graphics vs a dedicated graphics cared.
integrated is not too fast, with some motherboards it accesses your system ram. dedicated is much faster, has its own ram.
