Dual boot: RAID 0 or separate?

[Jinto]

I got a Gateway FX notebook recently and it has 2x drive bays. There is a 200GB 7200.2 already installed and I have a 320GB 7200.3. I run Ubuntu and Vista.

Which of these two would be better:

Get rid of 200GB and grab another 320GB to run RAID 0 and partition the array into two.

Dont run RAID and install Ubuntu on one drive and Vista on another.

I am not sure how much performance I will get from RAID 0 and if it is worth the trouble. Thanks!

Do you want to use Ubuntu?
Personally, I always wind up using Windows since it is more user friendly.

I would just use 1 HDD to preserve energy and make the lappy weigh less.
Sorry I didn't pick any of your 2 answers

Yea +1 for the single drive...if want to dual boot you can do that off of a single drive too.

One drive will make it weigh less and your battery will last longer.

I dont really care about battery life since this is a 17in notebook. I got it so that I can play some games and watch anime when I go back home on break. I leave my desktop at school and my entire family only have midgety notebooks.

As for whether I use Ubuntu or not I use Ubuntu to compile code I write for class. I also use it when I debug my code. I am mostly concerned about performance.
