2 320gb drives on raid0

[Phil2008]

Ive never raided before and Just want to know if its as easy as this......

If I bought 2 seagate 320gb drives and once there setup in the bios for raid0 can I treat it like having a single drive from there onwards? Like will partitioning and formatting will be the same process as if you had 1 drive installed

Can I restore my winxp partition so I wont need to install xp and everything again?

Will windows report be 640gb or 600gb hard drive?

So raid isnt nice and easy to use like a single drive is?

I wil be using the raid on my motherboard, no idea how good it is tho

But can I restore and backup partitions from my backup drive..?

Or is it best going for a single drive?
