What it says on the tin really. E.g 500Gb 7200RPM vs 2 250Gb 7200RPM in raid 0

Depends on the game and whether or not there's a lot of sequential reads going on, as that's where raid-0 makes the biggest difference.

SSDs though will definitely make a difference. In Arma2, games load up in a fraction of the time it took on my mechanical HDs.
