Yes! The 1.07 drivers with the bios settings IS alot nicer. However, I
have another problem with the card. It will survive a drive fail just
fine and rebuild on the spare, no big deal. It all works fine untill you
try a reboot. I have yet to get the system to reboot after a rebuild. Bios
throws up on me claiming that there is no bootsector. I can reinstall on
the drive, but that sort of defeats the purpose...
Yeah yeah I guess this is isn't a SMP issue, sorry.
