Although some chipsets may contain extra support, or additional features in
the ide patches, generally the answer would be no... if your current chipset
is supported and working properly and fully in the default kernel, the ide
patches are unlikely to provide any noticeable speed improvement.

It is in addition to. It's not RAID for ide, it's just additional ide
support... therefore you need the raid code as well.
