will raid ide help for gaming speeds?
The Athlon 64 San Diego is basically a Venice core with a 1MB Level Two Cache - a slight improvement in performance although clockspeed isn't that different.

RAID may help for gaming speeds, but it's not worth it. The margin of improvement you will get is not worth the risk of running HDDs on RAID.
