RAID drives for gaming

[Abomination]

Haven't much knowlege in this field hence the question:

Is the performance increase with raid drives worth the money for gaming?

Win XP home
P4 3.0
FX5900XT
Asus P4P800-E Duluxe
2Gb Ram 4x512 mb Pc3200 400mhz

That depends on how much the performance or your money is worth to you

Always find out what the bottleneck is before you go optmizing. Maybe you just need to partition your disks better or defragment or just tweak Windows a bit to make things go faster.

Thanks for that Nodsu, I'll give those things a go. Got to admit, those weren't even things i thought of as performance hitters
