I've run out of space on my 320G "C" drive, and would like to add a second identical hard drive in a RAID 0 array on my Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 motherboard to improve both speed and space. This, of course, means wiping out the existing OS, and I don't want to do a fresh install if I can avoid it.

8 GB (4x2GB) Corsair DDR3 1600
OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD for the system drive

As for my overall WPI score; it is limited to 4.4 because of the over emphasis on Aero Performance. I have not invested...
