Albert, Answers to your questions. (I hope) I am fairly new to raid setups.
1. I am using OS 10.1.4 and 9.2.2 installed on the 80gig raid disk and boot into either one from the raid volume. I also keep 9.2.2 on my original 6 gig for backup. I am using raid 0 just for performance(more speed). 2. I have read that the idea behind the raid pci card(hardware) is to eliminate the need for raid software. The card has two dip switches that you set for either normal operations (no raid) or the raid setup. Your processor supposedly is then not bogged down with raid software work and can focus on other tasks. XLR8 your mac did a review on this and liked the raid hardware systems over raid software. XLR8 your mac has excellent articles and linking on raid setups for macs. Any more questions just ask.
