Good Day,

Looking for some reviews of ASUS P4P800 Deluxe and P4C800 Deluxe, I found some issues I'd like to ask:

[1] What is the main diference between CSA and non CSA Gigabit lan (like the 3COM 3C940 on P4P800-Deluxe)? (I know I found something about this some time ago on anandtech, but couldn't find it now)

[2] What is the main diference between Intel ICH5R and ICH5? R is for Raid availability? Is there a serious performance drop to the Promise controlers?

[3] Any of you think it's usefull for a normal user to use Raid0/1 on a regular home system?
