Rebuilding RAID array

[pedrochop]

HISTORY: I recently turned on my PC and heard a loud pop followed by a burning smell. Fortunately the tower didn't burst into flames, but the PC was dead, no power at all. I opened the case and inspected the motherboard and found no sign of blown capacitors or leakages. The light on the motherboard was off. I was hoping that it was only the PSU that had gone so went out and bought a new one. Unfortunately, when the new PSU was connected to the mobo I still had no power and the light on the mobo remained off. I checked the power cables and socket and found them to be working. I now think the motherboard will need to be replaced. It is a Asus A7N8X-E with RAID 0 setup.

QUESTION: I dont want to reinstall Windows XP after replacing the motherboard. If I buy a new motherboard with a different RAID Controller will I be able to rebuild the RAID array or will I need to purchase the same motherboard to be able to rebuild the RAID array?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I have two options really.
1. buy a second hand motherboard with a similar RAID controller as the a7n8x-e
2. buy a new system and get a PCI RAID controller card with the same RAID controller as what is on the a7n8x-e. (this will probably require a XP repair)
