Well it's funny due to I think what you have is over kill.

I have run into problems with raid and smp systems. Depending on how many 
users you have and what you planned on for growth.  Intel does make some 
nice cards but I would not change that out yet as it will be a better 
solution to see if you can fix the irq's settings. Adding an addtional card 
that takes an IRQ will only add the to problem.
