I'm pretty sure that those two drives in RAID-0 would boot much faster than the seagate. Seek times will be way lower and average read/write times should also be a bit faster. I'd do it if you've got the Raptors on hand, nothing to loose!

I'm sure the seagate does have 32mb cache, but that won't make much difference for boot speeds.
I sure wouldn't replace the seagate with them, but as long as you backup and all you don't risk data loss. You can even leave an os on the seagate so if the raptor array fails, you just switch boot priority and are good to go. I'm sure someone's benched two of them in RAID-0 if you want more concrete data on just how much faster they'd be
