Question What sort of performance boost with IDE RAID?

Gidday

Contemplating adding a PCI - IDE Raid controller to my PC.
As I can obtain a HDD identical to the one in it.

Couple of questions
Will this improove hard drive performance much?
Will the computer boot from the controller and not the onboard IDE ?
I assume the card will come with instructions for this.

Also, are there any good guides on this site or net?

Any help, most appreciated.
