Question : RAID Volume Performance

I have a new HP Proliant server, Win2K3 R2, with an on board RAID controller.  I initially setup the OS and a Temp disk as one  RAID 1+0  volume of 6 - 72 GB 15K SAS drives with 2 partitions.  Thinking that the more spindles I have the faster overall performance.  

Then I looked more into  partition offset on RAID volumes and the performance loss inherent in misaligned partitions.  

Is it better to have the OS on a RAID 1 set of the 72 GB drives for the OS which unfortunately has to be misaligned and create a 1+0 set of the remaining 4, 72 GB disks?  I need to maximize I/Os on the non-OS partition.  

Thanks in advance,

Wade
