Pardon me for interjecting here but I have to question this as I have
installed SATA and RAID well after the OS was loaded and configured
and had been running for 6 months. I followed procedures according
to Intel for my D915PBL board. I have RAID and SATA enabled in BOIS
and am only currently using non RAID setup. Could I possibly be
taking a performance hit and not even know it?

It's not to late. They are about the cheapest thing you can do to get the

testing the System. Fan controls are handy too.
