I had two previous PC Chips boards, on two different systems. Both are recent (2004+) and works great. One has a Via (no problems) and the other had a nForce Chipset (one of the very few that did) and the first was AMD Socket-A and the other was a Pentium IV system. Sadly, the Pentium IV burnt out before the board (CPU esploded 
) and the board was used in another project. Two different friends have the machines (one has the P IV with a Celeron 1.6Ghz, the Other with my Old AMD Sempron w/ Via Chipset)
As far as the RAID Card, I have had a PATA SiS RAID card, works great, but it was during the windows 2k Pro time so it doesn't like to work with windows if you used it for boot (KP's Win XP once it gets the initial install files on it) and was only good for extra storage. T'was ok, but It's sitting back in it's box until I need it again.
So, i will report on how good the stuff works!!!
