kr7a overclocking... raid issues

[CelticDemolition]

hey, i'm about to buy a new system for myself (see profile) and i was discussing my plan with a good friend of mine. now he knows his stuff, and told me that the kr7a raid he owns will not overclock very much at all (only up 7 mhz to 140 in fact) due to the fact that the highpoint controller doesn't do very well when the mobo is overclocked. so now i'm kinda stuck.. i wanted the raid version, not to raid out my computer, but so i could go nuts with ide devices and the like... get em all on separate channels. but i also want to see how far i can push my system. is he right? will buying the raid version hinder the overclocking ability of the abit board? does anyone else have experience with this board? i kinda want a second opinion here, or suggestions on what else to do. thx.

sum1 in the other forum says he got his kr7a raid to 148 mhz with all the fastest dram timings... did anyone do better? worse?
