Can I RAID my Dell Inspiron E1720?

[nazareneisrael]

I have a Dell Inspiron E1720 with two internal spin 7200 RPM HDD's. Is it possible to put them in RAID 0, either by hardware (preferably), or software?

Thank you.

It looks like I can easily put them in software raid by downloading the Intel Matrix Manager from the Dell Support Page.

Go with a hardware solution, if you want to upgrade or have a motherboard failure, you don't have to buy the SAME motherboard...

Is it possible to install a hardware RAID card ex-post-factory?

And if so, what hardware RAID card is best?
