With FC1 x86_64, the following chips work:

ICH4 ICH5
VIA Sata (unknown exact chipset)
Promise SATA (unknown exact chipset)
Sil3112

The Asus via boards have both VIA and Promise chips that are supported.  
The chaintech has 4x promise ports which are supported.  Many boards have 
Sil3114, which are not supported yet.
