As it's a software/hardware RAID, I don't believe it's supported. The 
controller works for regular non-RAID setups however. I tested DragonFlyBSD 
1.1-current of somewhere in february on an Asus A8N-SLI of mine.

You can put one of those Zalman chip coolers (ZM-NB47J or something) on the 
nForce4 chip (technically, it's not a northbridge anymore because there is 
no southbridge :)).
