first i am currently using a promise tx4200 raid controller and i watned to know if i would have to reformate and remake my raid array if i wanted to switch it to the onboard raid controller on my board.Unfortunately, yes.

also i wanted to know if i have my programs/games on drive b and windows on drive a would my games still work if i formated drive a and reinstalled windows?Some games. It depends if the particular game uses registry settings or not.

also what kinda speeeds should i be seeing with 2 x 7200 sata drives in raid0 currently they seem kinda low according to hdtach they are .... average read is 85 MB/s, random access 12.6ms burst speed is 112 MB/s.Sounds a little on the low side, but nothing out of the ordinary for a PCI based controller.
