The more drives you add, the more theroretical overall throughput you have. Past 2 drives, the throughput goes up, but in reality it does not actually improve that much. To take advantage you would need to be moving like 1000gig files around, or as a server where 20 people are accessing at the same time is the only way you will see any advantage of grouping multiple drives (more than 2 anyway) under RAID 0. The more drives you add tends to add longer lantencies, so you see your seek times start declining. Working on a common desktop PC, you will notice that everything in fact seems slow and sluggish as compared to 1 fast drive with low seek times.
If you want to go RAID 0, and it's a desktop PC, pick 2 decent drives with good seek times. You can under some conditions see a performance boost, when loading big files, you also will notice Windows will load a little faster.
Other than that, just get 1 big fast drive and be satisfied that is the best you can probably do. Or, put your OS on 1 drive and all your programs on the other. That will actually net you better performance on most desktops than a RAID 0 setup. Or, 1 drive with the OS, and 2 drives in RAID 0 for everything else.
