I assume you're talking about RAID 0. Answers:

1) Little impact on gaming. Your loading times will improve a bit, but not much. You can improve your gaming experience investing in more RAM (get at least 4Gb-6Gb, depending on your system, plus Windows 64).

2) You need 2 identical HDs and a mobo with RAID. Most mobos have RAID today, though.

3) Read the manual of your mobo. You'll find everything there.

You can use more than 2 drives in raid 0 but the speed increase by adding more drives gets smaller and smaller. Plus you increase the risk of losing all your data if a drive fails.

galta is right with the rest of the answers.
