what about highpoint 1640 SATA RAID controller ?

Hi Eric, you seem to be an expert at raid so I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I have a ASUS A7V8X M.B. with 2 sata drives in stripe mode. The M.B. recently failed and I am wondering how to retrieve the data. I bought (tried to) a board on ebay but the company never shipped it Are raid protocols standard so that any MB will reconfiger my array? Is it chip specific as in hipoint vs promise? Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance, Scott H.
