I still have a few outstanding questions related to running a FreeBSD variant on my new desktop. I haven’t found clear answers and I’m sure I’ll just have to try. If anyone has any advice, please let me know:

1. Can I use the hybrid RAID/SATA support included on the Intel motherboards? As far as I can tell it’s only supported with windows so I may need to buy a separate RAID controller ($150 to $200). This isn’t a big deal as buying the card will get me true hardware RAID instead of this hybrid. If it’s an option though then I’d rather try it out and see if it’s adequate before buying the card.
2. How difficult will it be to configure and run a dual monitor setup?
