Raid 0 vs. Dual-Sata Drive Setup

Having never setup a RAID array of drivers, I was curiuos if I would see a performance increase by setting up Raid 0 with the following drives:

WD Raptor 34GB 10KRPM
Seagate 200GB Sata 7200RPM (don't know model#)

Right now i've got my OS on the Raptor and my games/backup/downloads on the Seagate drive. Would setting up a RAID 0 give me an increase in performance, or is it neglible and keep the dual-drive setup?
 
Let me clarify that...
You need 2 identical drives for RAID0. If your looking for a performance increase, set your paging file to the raptor. Won't help a ton, but should make a little difference when running intensive apps off the seagate. if you have more than 1.5GB RAM, forget what i just said and leave your drives how they are. (thats in regards to gaming)

Keep it that way, or get another drive that's identical to one of the drives you already own.
