so easy, I have and ASUS mobo thats fairly new as well.

set it to RAID in the bios, then when the intel matrix storage initializes after POST, hit CTRL+C.

Just keep spamming it after post and you'll get your menu.

I currently am running a RAID-0 system with 2x750GB WD RAID Edition RE3 Drives, runs as fast as 1 WD Raptor, and i'ts quieter too.

I tried it .... it just boots it doesn't take me to the Utility. So I think Im just gonna have to install Windows and then setup the array from Windows.... (sigh).

In your manual it says that in the BIOS under "SATA Configuration Options," you will only get the submenu where you chose IDE, RAID, or AHCI when you chose Compatible, or Enhanced. Have you tried it both ways, under Compatible mode then under Enhanced mode - then "Exit and Save Changes" reboot with Ctrl, Alt, Delete, and hold Crtl + I while rebooting. If you've tried it both ways and you're still not able to enter the RAID utility to mount the drives in the array, is it recognizing the drives when configuration is set to IDE or AHCI? It is not as simple as plugging in the drives and choosing RAID as stated above.

I read the manual and I already set it up in the BIOS, I just cant get the intel Storage Matrix but appeartly the Manual gives me the incorrect key, it says to press Ctrl+I when its really Crtl+C or at least thats what one of the people who posted here was telling me. I'm about to go try it, wish me luck!

AFAIK, you shouldn't have to use the Intel RAID utility if your MB has a raid controller, which it does according to Newegg. You should be good to go if you set it in BIOS.

Have you tried going into Windows setup and checking if your drives are recognized as a single volume?

No I haven't I know I can do that but I wanted to get it setup before I install windows so I can kill 2 birds with one stone ya know? My other motherboard let me do it and supposeably this board is suppose to let me as well but I can't get into the utility.

The drives are both empty, I haven't put an OS on it yet. I haven't done that because I can't install the OS until I can get them into a RAID0 array.

I have 2 5850's in an 890GX mobo with 3 1080p monitors. Now my question is how do I turn on Eyefinity? I cant seem to find any how to guides to help with this and everytime I try looking for setup info from AMD its almost none exsistant? Anyone know how it works and is willing to show me so I can get my 3 monitors rolling in Eyefinity?

If I have Street Fighter 4 on the PC and my friend has it on the XBOX360, can I still play against him? Is the game cross-platform?

No, sorry buddy. You can't play PC Left 4 Dead with people from the 360 Left 4 Dead. He needs to get it for the 360 or you need to get it for the PC to play together. You could also find a cross-platform game like Lost Planet, but there are only a few games that have that feature. Microsoft is actually making small baby steps toward that PC+360 playing together thing.
