I'd imagine it would be slightly slower if anything. Windows is not really an operating system designed for fancy things like RAID. If you were using linux then it would be worth it. Bearing in mind vista had trouble keeping track of new files (they didn't appear straight away) if Windows 7 uses the same method and you have a mirrored drive then I'd imagine all sorts of problems could ensue!

If you want speed then windows is never the answer in the first place :-)

If the pc feels slow then you have to see where it is bottle necking first. You say you only have 2GB and it is short of memory. There is your answer! Extra RAM is often more crucial to speedy operation. I'd go back to XP. It'll probably go like stink!
