RaidXpert not supported by AMD? You sure? I have an embedded AMD Athlon II Neo N36L with RS785E/SB820M chipset and RaidXpert manages to support and enable write cache and NCQ.
Take a look at HP's service advisory; http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c02541592 It says under Server 2008 R2 but it should be the same with Windows 7.
