need 2 fast drives... cheap

[Lev]

hey guys.. I need 2 really fast drives so I can raid0 them.. mainly for age of conan load times :) , I play a couple hours a day so im kinda annoyed by all the long loads..

I have a ep35-ds3r motherboard with an ich9r motherboard.. which is good for matrix raid.

Now ive read that I can set up matrix raid to use the fastest 25gb of each drives for optimal performance.. which is what I plan to do.

OS + AoC install = 50gb max, thats with a few gbs extra..

What drives do you recommend?

I have been looking at 320gb drives, since they seem to be the cheapest fast 7.2k rpm drives

which 320s basically?
