You probably don't want to do that. Most likely you are better off using software raid. Software raid allows for more flexible set ups, does not tie you to specific hardware, will perform well compared to cheap raid cards, does not require installing properitary drivers, and rarely does the CPU hit make a significant difference. In the event you need higher performance, then you should consider getting a good raid card with battery backed cache.
