No they don't.
On my board (Asus A8V Deluxe) it has to run off the VIA RAID controller so I have to do the same as Ramrod.

Download CPUZ from here:
http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-128.zip
Extract the ZIP, run the EXE and click on the RAM tab - this will tell you how many channels you are running at.

Downloading SP2.....I may be some time

KP................I think that the rather noisy fan type sound is coming from the Geforce 6800 ultra (henceforth known as the 'helicopter')...........since you are building a two helicopter system, may I suggest earmuffs?

Yeah they do, you just disable the raid bios in your normal bios, rendering the ports as standard SATA controllers Thats how my current Asus P4P800-E works and i run my raid on there using a Promise sx-150 card

Unless of course the bios is completely different.... which i dont know why they would remove that system with a later board..... unless it causes issues with other parts of the board or something

[Nemesis]

Why are you downloading SP2 when I sent it to you on CD ????

DOH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

damn i been out while you had all the fun

Way to go dude

Thanks for your help m8!

I just can't get my bluddy sound to work..............
It's an audigy 2zs. It should plug in, load drivers and pump sound through the headphones.
'Device is enabled', setup even shows the mic works but I just cant get sound.....anyone got any ideas?

[KingPhoenix]

Have you disabled your on board sound in the bios? as windows is probably using the on board as default

You can just get windows to use the other sound card easy enough, but i would recommend disabling the on board

Any probs give me a bell.... you know the number

[Halcyon]

Have you disabled the onboard sound in the Bios ?
May be responsible for it.

[Edit: Phoenix beat me to it.]

I'm glad you are set up and all is working for you. It feels great having built that. I certianly remember feeeling well happy when I got my system up and running.
