SATA Burner on Nforce4 SLI w/ integrated Silicon Image 3132

I'm putting together an AMD system with a Foxconn NF4SK8AA-8EKRS motherboard that uses the Nforce4 SLI chipset. I've been shopping for a burner to complete this rig, but have read that SATA burning is not supported with NF4 chipset SATA ports because of a problem in the NF4 SATA driver kext.

The thing is my board includes an additional onboard Silicon Image 3132 PCI-E SATA controller. If I use the a port from the 3132 chip for the burner, will I be able to burn on this setup without the NF4 SATA driver kext interfering? I will be loading that kext on top of the 3132 kext because I need the NF4 SATA ports for my boot drive and data drive.

I've repeatedly seen the 3132 recommended for use with OSx86 as an add-on card, and I assume that the integrated chip on the motherboard should show up just the same (as a PCI-E device) and should work using the same drivers.

Also, any specific SATA burners you guys recommended? I have been looking at Lite On and Pioneer. Thanks.
