Whoa there, tex.  The Highpoint controllers can be used with Linux
software raid to greater advantage than the standard raid controllers;
they provide better performance.  In other words you don't run them
native, you run them with SW raid, and you end up with a better setup.

Meanwhile that leaves the two original vanilla IDE channels open for
other uses.
