Must have fastest disks

[copsey]

I'm considering getting a pair of raptors - one for the system and the other for programs + data

Would it be faster to have a pair of 7200 drives in raid 0 run off the motherboard raid controller? Is integrated raid fast?

cheers guys
I just want the fastest - I don't really mind if I get less space as I already have a hardware RAID 5 array for storage. I want the fastest to load vista & apps. From the access times you quote, it sounds like a single raptor for system and a single raptor for apps might be the quickest?
