As the title says :)

I've currently got a Sata150 WD Raptor 74gb

I'm upgrading the rest of the system but here I have a dilemma

A 74gb Raptor costs just over £100 still.

Would I benefit more from buying another of these, setting it to Raid 0 or will I get faster drive performance from buying two 120gb Sata300 hdd's and raid 0'ing these?

Two 120gb Sata300's (7200rpm) I can get for around £35 each

The drives will be used for the operating system only, valuable data will not be stored on them so disk resilience is not an important factor.
