Subject: [gentoo-user] Is an Intel motherboard RAID better or worse than software RAID?

Hi,
I'm in the process of setting up a new private computer. I've bought one
with two drives b/c I wanted to setup a RAID system - RAID1 for
important partitions, RAID0 for scratch files maybe.
Additionally I would like to use LVM2 --- on my work PC I've grown to
like the flexibility of that.
The Intel DQ35JO motherboard now supports some kind of mobo based RAID.
Is it better to use this HW raid, or to ignore that and use only the
linux kernel's software RAID.
Additionally the LVM2 utilities seem to have limited mirroring/striping
capabilities of their own - I only want to use RAID levels 0 and 1
anyways -- would LVM's methods be better here?
Inquiring mind wants to know!
