You ARE using software raid, just with some BIOS support and drivers for
windows. That doesn't change it from being software raid. I think I
even read in a magazine recently how eo enable software raid in win xp
even though it is only supposed to be a feature in the higher server
versions.
There are very few hardware raid cards that do SATA. 3ware is one
maker, and I think adaptec has one or two models (most of theirs are not
hardware raid), and highpoint migh thave one model. The 3ware is the
only one I know of with open source drivers. You certainly don't get
hardware raid onboard except some very high end servers (almost always
scsi).

Did you know there is an 8 port wanpipe card coming out in the next 3
months? That might help your pci slot problem. On the other hand, why
would you need to dual boot a machine that is used for such things?
Developing for both linux and windows or just playing around?
