*do not* do this, if any of your two disks fails, the data is gone. Better use
raid10 instead, though for that you will need 3 disks at least. Also putting /
and /opt on an SSD will speed up things massivly. (So just keep /home on real
harddisks.) A 120gb SSD is about 100€ and (if possible) IME is the best
investment for an old machine.

more cores and more ram is definitly better.
