I have a western digital 80 gig 7200 HDD (WD800JB) and a 120 gig 7200 HDD (WD1200JB) and was wondering if it is possible to get a RAID card and use the RAID 0 option. I dont have the money to purchase another HDD to make a pair for the 80 or 120 but i have enough for a RAID card. Are the performance gains enough to purchase the RAID card? THANKS

For the typical single user, you really wont notice much of a difference. You should save your money.
You might be able to get RAID 0 to work, but you'll lose 40 gigs from the 120.
Just tweak out your system by defragging and sticking your swap file on the second drive.
