New to RAID

[MJW]

I've built many PCs, but never a RAID configuration. Am I correct in
assuming that two 40GB HDs in a RAID 0 configuration will have a total
capacity of 80GB (less some overhead)? Also what performance can I expect
from a S-ATA RAID 0 configuration compared to two separate IDE drives?

Thanks.

A quick Google using the search term, "RAID" brings up over 6 million
