want to use software raid turn off bios raid and use the built in raid
in the linux kernel and then your mobo(asus nforce board) will work jsut
fine.
However you want to characterise on-board raid, don't loose sight of the
fact that its presence generally has implications for how many disks you
can attach before going to add-on cards.
Sometimes four connectors (counted at the disk end) are not enough.
What you do with all those disks is a separate issue. Most of the
peecees I see advertised only have one disk, so obviously on-bord RAID,
if it exists, isn't being used.

down).
Instead of buying a motherboard, you can add a SATA controller card.
I have a Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI card ($55) and set up software RAID1
on CentOS 4.
