thanks.. so from what i'm reading, using general consumer motherboards with the goal of performance gaming, raid 0 is best without getting a separate dedicated raid controller? (i don't care if i have to reinstall os + programs and data will be elsewhere, possible raid 5 array)

you are very correct. though i am afraid that the performance using motherboard raid won't be very different from using OS-based software raid (though, of course, the difference is that your system drive cannot be raided in OS-based software raid). Also, raid5 performance in motherboard raid is pathetic (downward of 15-20MB/s in some cases!)
