I checked some more and found that the Dimension 9100 has an Intel 945P chipset. Look the specifications on Intel's website, it does looks like it supports SATAII with NCQ. So raid setup should be very nice :-D
I believe it does support SATA II, but unless you upgrade your HDD, the standard Maxtor 160GB that comes with the 9100 is SATA I w/o NCQ (according to the Intel Storage Matrix program I installed).
BTW, when I used Intel Chipset ID utility it showed that I had a 945G chipset with a SATA 82108GH controller. The drivers from Dell don't seem to match with the chipset, so I decided to get mine directly from the Intel website.
