I'm running a IP35/e8400@4050mhz/4gb ram and switched my WD7500AAKS to a WD6400AAKS, hdtune puts the 7500 @ 75mb/sec avg while the 6400 does 88mb/sec with a better burst and latency, this is with vista 64bit and ahci intel matrix driver 8.2

is this *THE* fastest drive I can run single drive, past that, if I go raid0 with two of these drives what kind of performance can i expect?
 
The fastest drive you can run is actually made by Rockwell Automation. Unfortunately you can't purchase it as a standalone drive. You would have to buy a RetroEncabulator,and pull the drive from that. :D



But yeah, the 320 and 640's are seemingly the fastest non raptor/scsi/ssd drives available.
 
raid 0 with 2 640's are nice. I run a 250GB Raid 0 slice. My access times are 8.8 seconds! Then I run the rest of the slice on a raid 1 setup.
