875P Questions

Which of the 875P motherboards have IDE RAID? I'm only going to need Raid 0, don't flame me for this or anything but I'm going to make nightly backups run automatically after I sleep to another hard drive.

I was looking at the Asus P4C800, but I didn't see IDE(ATA) RAID mentioned anywhere. Neither did the Intel motherboards. They just had SATA RAID. Also, why don't any of them have ATA133 support and just have ATA100 support? I believe the Gigabyte motherboard had IDE Raid but that thing costs just too much.
 
Gigabyte 8KNXP non ultra doesn't have IDE raid

The PC800:

"The P4C800 Deluxe's IDE/Serial ATA drive support is excellent. As usual, there are the standard IDE connectors, dubbed the Primary and Secondary IDE connectors, which support two channels each and therefore up to four IDE drives total. There's one additional IDE connector powered by the Promise PDC20378 controller. This specific Promise controller supports just two IDE channels, meaning a max of two hard drives (no optical drives allowed) can be connected. This same Promise PDC20378 controller also powers two Serial ATA connectors (not the two ICH5-bound Serial ATA connectors), which allows users to connect one SATA drive to each connector. All in all you should be able to connect four SATA and six IDE drives to this motherboard, though we can't imagine what desktop user would have the need for ten drives in one case as the heat, noise, and maintenance required would be quite severe. Though, the drive capability of the P4C800 Deluxe is perfect for small database workstations/servers and the like."

I think The 875 boards will be higher than normal. The 865 should be cheaper..

So basically, none of the boards out there right now have ATA(IDE) Raid integrated other than the Gigabyte?
