Few questions about Raid 0

What are the benfits of raid 0 using 2 Maxtor 7200 Hardrives versus a Western Digital 80gig 7200rpm 8meg Cash Harddrive? The Maxtor drives I believe are either 2meg or 4meg cash, and are 133's

I have both right now, I actually have the raid set up, but imo it seems to slow load times into windows rather then increase the overall performance. Im considering rebuilding the pc and scraping the raid setup. Right now Im using the WD Drive for storage.

Ive heard good things about the WD with the 8 meg cash, I mostly use the machine for gaming these days, so Im looking to whichever setup would increase performance.

Im looking to add water cooling soon so IM able to overclock the machine to extend its life and well while I have the machine all tore apart...................

    do you have a dell? if you want the fastest raid 0 setup you'd want to get 2 wd raptors. you could try using the wd instead, the 8mb cache could make a diff, its just hard to say, what did you expect from the raid setup?
