I've read the FAQ and done some homework on Raid 0 but I'd rather get the "experts" opinion if that's ok.

Taking my system into account my system (in sig) and the fact the pc is mainly used for gaming which of the following options would suit me best -

1, Spend £80'ish on a single large 300gig+ 16mb cache Sata drive

or

2, Two 160gig Sata drives in Raid 0

Finally how easy is it to setup Raid 0 on my DFI. Someone assured me it was a Bios option while someone else assured me it was a floopy disk job?
 
Floppy disk is needed when you install sata drivers on a windows install. Not sure if its the same for RAID, but never seen it that way myself.

RAID may be in the bios, or it may be hit 'xxx' key on bootup, see boot screen.

Goto the mobo manufacters website and find your board, the info should be there, on second though, check your manual, or download one.

Personally i'd opt for the 1 large drive if it works out the same or cheaper.
