Want to upgrade RAID 0 120gb hdd's - help me

My hard drives: Western Digital JD1200 Sata 8mb cache.
I'm wondering if a 74gb raptor would improve performance. I mostly just game.

I think your RAID setup right now is faster than a single Raptor but two Raptors in Raid0 would kill it. Not worth upgrading IMO. Maybe if you did really heavy HD work but for gaming you don't need anything more. Save your money
