I suspect it will take a few months of testing by Dell until they do and perhaps, my chipset won't be supported by this newest version either.
Can you still download version 7.6? That might help with this issue but that is precisely what I'm posting about. I want to know who has version 7.6 and who has tried the latest iTunes and Quicktime. I want to know that this version of the Matrix Manager did, indeed, solve the problem before I try it again. I don't ever want to go through that corruption of my HD/array because the first time Dell shipped me an entire new computer and the second time I was able to "rebuild" the corrupted HD in the array. I've spent too many hours configuring and adding data to the computer to go through this again if the problem still remains. It would REALLY BE NICE to be able to sync my iPhone with my Dell desktop instead of hauling out the Sony laptop each time I do it.

Wow. You swapped out your whole computer? painful... anyway, ya I know what you mean about rebuilding the drives which sucks. Takes forever, and slows the whole computer until it's done.
I'll try the version 7.6 when I get home from work to see if it works on my computer. Do you happen to have the direct link to the download site for version 7.6?
Here's the summary of my problems with Vista/Raid/QT/iTunes:
So far, I CAN sync: All Outlook Calendar events, contacts, Songs.
I can sync (with workaround): Pictures -
using the USB stick workaround
I CANNOT sync: Any videos/podcasts.
I have computer freezes when: Changing/adding AlbumArt thru iTunes,
unless I use a workaround: Using Tag&Rename (or other program) to first assign AlbumArt to the songs,
then dragging the mp3s into iTunes...which works.
I can live without having videos on my iPhone, but it would be nice to have this function someday...
