RAID controller device manager question

[sillyputty]

I recently built a new system with an asus P6T deluxe MB/Intel i7 940
CPU. In the device manager under other devices the RAID controller, SM
bus controller and system interrupt controllers all show yellow
exclamation marks. I'm planning to install the drivers for the SM bus
and system interrupts. My question is about the RAID controller. I
enabled RAID for the two Seagate 500g HDs in the BIOS and things seems
fine. The MB apparently sees the two drives (one drive with 1TB). Do I
need to install the RAID controller in the device manager? Thx.

Asus P6T - Deluxe X58
Intel Core i7 940
OCZ OCZ3P1333 DDR3
Seagate Barracuda 500g 7200 SATA x2
Sapphire Radeon 4850 512mb GDDR3 x2
Antec TPQ-850 850w
Antec 900 case

I just built a similiar system with the i7 920 and have it running at 3.7Ghz
and since I am not using RAID at all, I disabled the controllers in the bios
and it speeds up booting into Vista 64 by quite a bit. Are you using triple
channel memory? I am using 3x 2gb Corsair XMS 1333 running at 14?? something
at default voltage. Install the drivers from the CD and make sure you update
the bios to the latest version from Nov or early Dec. You can do that safely
with a thumb drive in EZ Bios in the TOOLS section of the bios.
