I've had poor expereinces with RAID. I place all applications on one drive,
store all data on another drive, and use another drive just for the page
file. My current desktop uses 2x 74GB Raptors and 1 36GB Raptor. Even with
my cheapie 4400 X2 939 and 2GB RAM, this system is very fast for me.

The Raptor will actually be faster than the SCSI for single user
application use. Although we are talking minimal difference. SCSI
really excels in server environments where the raptor is sometimes used
as an entry level drive.
I believe TOP is spot on. 64-bit windows won't get you anything unless
you plan on addressing >4gb of ram. You won't be finding any consumer
mobos that support >4gb. If FEA is really a memory hog then I'd go
Dual core Opteron and 8gb of ram. Of course at $400-$500 a 2gb stick
you are talking some serious bank. Hopefully your employer pays for it.
Raid 0 I can't really comment on for performance. You are much better
off using your $200 for more RAM than Raid.
