you can instal windows vista64 alongside windows xp and dual boot, where when u turn on your pc u just select what OS u want to boot ie xp or vista. As for raid0, u just plug the drives into the sata raid controller on your mobo. then u just need to create the array. upon bootup u will get a screen telling you a shortcut to press to access the raid setup. create the raid0 array with your two new drives, and away you go. check your mobo manual.
