You could put them in RAID0, provided your motherboard supports it or you have a controller card. I wouldn't recommend it, since if one drive fails, all your data on both drives is lost.
You can read more about RAID here (http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/perf/raid/index.html)

You could also map it directly to a directory in WXP. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_diskconcepts_14.mspx

JBOD will also do the same thing, but at least RAID 0 offers a performance advantage.
