If I was to remove the sound card, I would no longer have any sounds, correct? I also tried to re-install the drivers and the standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller is still listed. The thought came to mine that if I add another drive, maybe that would let me turn the RAID controller on? I have two drives in the first computer, but I don't have a RAID setup. I do remember switching to the IDE controller after I had played with a RAID 0 on that one, and the computer was slower. I also updated the BIOS as well. Haven't noticed any obvious changes except the number of DIMM slots used/available in the summary.
