Default Can i install windows on second HDD?

I'm going to have 1 7200 rpm 8mb cache 80 gig HDD just for windows and its components and 2 74 gig raptors in RAID 0 for games and apps. Would this work? Can i have windows on one HDD and games on the other? i know it'll work if i created 2 partitions but will this work too? Also would it slow down anything since the windows HDD is ATA 133 IDE?

You would probably want windows and apps on the Raptors.
