    sure, a lot of people have done it in their d901c, d900f, x8100 and x7200. sequential reads should scale pretty well.

    There is also second posibility a " poor's man raid". The 7200 rpm drives are quite fast. Install windows on a 60 GB partition on one hdd, put the program files on another 30 G partition on the 2nd hdd and put the page file and the TMP (TEMP) folder on a 20 GB partitiion on a 3rd hdd. This way you keep the capacity, but the booting will still be relatively fast.
