I have been using a cheapo ASRock motherboard for the past 6 months. I died early this morning -- a audible pop the smell of burning plastic and a bit of smoke. Burned a bit around one of the capacitors.

The ASRock had other issues so I am not interested in going back to that brand. I have ordered an EVGA board that will be here tomorrow.

My question is this: I currently boot Win 7 on a pair of 500GB Barracuda SATA drives. When changing from one onboard controller to another will I be faced with rebuilding the array and reinstalling everything, or have things changed from the IDE days when even controllers of the same brand and model held a slim chance of recognizing the array?
 
Intel's storage controller should be able to recognize the old RAID array.
 
Yep. The Intel controller mostly figured it out.

It showed a degraded RAID, but within about an hour of repairing it in the background everything appears to be working properly.
