If optimising RAID storage for later Intel Chipsets running XP (and Win7 too), the combination of Intel RAID ROM module v11.2.0.1527 (via BIOS mod) and RST driver v11.2.0.1006 will unleash the full performance of your array.

There are versions which backport Intel's TRIM on RAID feature and I've had no issues on three generations of chipset.
If you're doing a BIOS mod like this you may as well consider updating other modules such the board's other disk controllers or even LAN BIOS if that's something you use and feel should be running better and/or has documented bugs that weren't patched by the latest BIOS.
If you want to enable the meltdown/spectre patches on Win 7 you can even patch the latest Intel CPU microcode that your motherboard manufacturer doesn't want to spend a little time providing.
There are other neat modules that are normally applied to mass licensed PCs too
Screw period correct; I wanted a faster system back then. I choose no dropped frames, super fast loading, fully compatible and quiet operation.
