Fakeraid will use your cpu for raid calculations as opposed to a card which has an onboard processor. cpu usage for raid0 is generally pretty low and based on the mobo you have, I'm sure you have a more than capable cpu. The main disadvantage is that if your mobo dies or you want to replace it, you will need another intel mobo with the same raid standard for you to use the raid. I doubt that intel will change their raid standard any time soon, or if they do they will most likely keep backwards compatibility so there's not much to worry about.
