Treating myself to a couple of 150gb Raptors, and i'm wondering whether it is worth Raid 0'ing them.

Main reason for purchase is to run fraps with as little slowdown as possible, unaware of how fraps works exactly im not sure if the Striping will make recording more fluent or whether it will be worse than using two seperate HDD's

Rest of my system is the following

E6600 Conroe
GeiL PC6400 DDR2 2gb
BFG 8800GTS OC 640MB
Gigabyte DS3 Mobo

What would you do with this hardware? Currently i have an old-ish cheap hard drive from seagate which beeps, makes a lot of loud noises and so on at random times, which i imagine is the reason recording with fraps causes things to judder so much.

Please advise :>
