I have a 2 year old SATA 7200rpm seagate drive in my computer right now. Will replacing that drive with 2x 300gb maxtor sata 16mb cache drives speed things up much?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Question about new hard drives

how much cache does the old drive have? also, have you compared the average seek time for all the drives? anyway, there will be some improvement but mostly in boot up time and loading up some games and large applications but i doubt that the difference will be huge.
unless you're short on space i would suggest going with a western digital raptor 75GB drive that's 10,000 rpm which is the fastest SATA drive on the market right now. Install all of your OS(s) and/or games on that one.
