ive been reading some reviews and they say for fastest raid 0 load times use seperate raid channels,

so question on that does that mean if i have a motherboard say a p5w dh deluxe, that as a

3 channels Serial ATA with RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 support
2 channels Serial ATA with RAID 0, 1 support via Silicon Image SiI 4723
3 channels Serial ATA with RAID 0, 1 support via JMB363

So for best performance put three drives on this in raid 0 with one drive on each channel, driver thingy, or do you have to have all of your raid zero on one controller.

Now this question being presented i dont really need data security just fastest load times possible, im consdiering four small drives in raid zero, two big drives in raid 0 or a raptor 1500.

any suggestions? also do i really need a mb like this with three raid controlers, is some controllers better then others, reccomendations?

thanks for those who take the time to read the question and give a well explained response and benchmarks are always good, much appreciated.
