The man page is just out of date. The 7xxx series cards work great for 
us.  We have a number deployed in RAID0,1 and RAID 10.  The only issue to 
watch out for is the 3dmd needs to be patched to work with POST 4.8R.

Also there was mention that there might be some updated work

Not sure if thats on the 3dmd or on the drivers.

I think the ar driver supports it.
