Oh, that's nothing. My motherboard came loudly advertising its RAID 
features on the [very shiny] box. But it wasn't until 3 years later when 
I updated the BIOS that the RAID functions actually appeared! o_O

[Fortunately, I don't need those functions. Indeed, my experience with 
all inexpensive RAID controllers is that they don't work properly. 
However, given that my motherboard provides *ten* SATA connectors, I 
guess they figured they could throw in some software RAID for good 
measure...]
