Hi list,
I'm setting up a new desktop machine with RAID 0. The motherboard I
bought supports the so-called Fake RAID, which offloads most of the
processing to the system CPU. What are the pros and cons of using this
as opposed to pure software RAID?

I would recommend software raid. Because it's made by some great
folks in the linux community and it is a project in development (so
you can get lots of support and updates, though it is very stable and
is used in many prod systems).
Also the tool 'mdadm' combined with the output of /proc/mdstat

Ok,
1. Motherboard Raid is often Fake Raid
2. In Gentoo the Software Raid fucntions for Linux are probably faster than
your motherboard's
3. Having had and seen issues with mother board raid I'd suggest using the
mdtools. Since there is a FAR LARGER support base; that way if somthing goes

No, never. You can use the last portage.
