At the moment I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 NCQ 200GB drive. With a 20gb partition for windows and apps, and another partition for the rest of the drive that has games,music ect on

shoud I get another Seagate drive and raid it, and have 2 partitions on in like Ive got at the moment.?
or
Should I get 2 36gb raptor drives and raid them, and only have my windows and apps on the drives, and have my current 200gb Seagate drive for my games and stuff?

Whitch option would you recommend for the most speed increase?

Whats raid 0, raid 1 ect? Ive never raided 2 drive before so I havent go a clue about raid. I just know you can have 2 same dives and link them together somehow to make the disk access faster. And my motherboard has raid so might aswel put it to good use.
 
I might forget about raiding drives, cos as soon as I think i know what I am takling about, someone says thats wrong and im back at square A again...

I thought with raid 0 was spliting the data up between drives.. so say you have 1 file, that file will get split up between the 2 drives, causing more speed and doubling the space... but that theory of mine is wrong right????
