I recently purchased a Mac Pro tower w/ OSX... 2x Intel Core Duo
2.66Ghz, 3GB Ram. I am installing 2x250GB SATA drives and I want to
install a RAID 0 stripe for performance reasons...

Is there any way to set it up using Hardware RAID instead of Software
RAID?

Why is hardware RAID preferred?

For performance reasons... I am using it to recall video and graphics
for presentations. I would prefer to use a hardware controller if it
is available.

Well I guess the place to start is to purchase a SATA hardware RAID controller and go from there.
