 Are raptors worth it?

Like the title says, are Raptor drives worth the money? I was thinking of getting two 74GB raptors for a Raid 0 array for my new system. But would it be better to get 4 other drives in a raid 10 or 0+1 array? (I can't afford 4 raptors)...

well they give you decreased os loading and game loading times is pretty much it if you are ipatient go ahead but you would only want to use them for programs and your os putting things like documents on it would be a waste of space so unless you have a lot of progrmas only get some regular 7200rpm drives for other programs and stuff that doesnt take long to load or anything
