I only have the pci x1 slot availible and i want a raid 0 set up. if I go 2 OCZ's solid state2 30 GB in a raid 0 with the arc-1200 will that give me good performance? Cause I heard that the pci x1 slot gets a max of 300 mb/s or 180 mb/s I dont rem. Well will it be worth it to do the raid or should i get a single 60GB ssd?

My rig

3 ghz quad amd am2+

8 GBs ram 800 DDR2

9500gt 512 ram

ect...

better solution take 1 60gb ssd, since 2x30gb cost more than 1*60gb ssd

Pardon me asking, but what do you intend on using these SSD's for? I'm a bit confused as to why you're going for a high data-rate drive configuration with such a lackluster system.

Sorry, that wasn't my intention, though iI admit it sounds pretty terrible now that I've re-read it :P. I was trying to ask what would be your main use for these SSD's, as the $300+ you're spending on them could be better spent if gaming performance is a priority.
