Really? AFAIK a fake RAID is considered a RAID controller that doesn't 
have its own CPU and RAM, but uses resources of the main system.
Software RAID is when the OS itself performs the RAID functions 
regardless if there is a RAID controller or not. As long as you have 
(ideally) two identical drives, you can create a software RAID on any 
system.
