Thanks for the tips Richard and FlyByWire. I now have a RAID 0 array set up with 2 Seagate SATA drives, and a third drive as a backup and for playing with Linux (I don't feel like messing around with RAID under Linux just yet). It's amazing how much sbappier the computer feels. I would love to have 2 of those Raptor drives, but I think that will have to wait a little while.
One queston I do have is that the RAID array is marked as the D: drive, even though it has Windows on it, while the 3rd drive is the C: drive. Will this cause any problems? The only reason I can see for this is that the 3rd drive is attached to the motherboard's primary IDE connector, while the other use the SATA connectors. So far everything seems to be working alright.
