Linux does not support winraid arrays, such as what your SATA system is 
providing.  Just straight sata access to single disks.  If you want sata 
raid, go get a hardware card from LSI (more than 2 ports) or 3ware.

Your CPU supports "HyperThreading" which is a second set of processing 
gates on the physical processor.  Thus it appears to the OS as a 
multiprocessor system.  Boot the smp kernel, and cat /proc/cpuinfo
