I've been running on a 36GB raptor drive for about 4 months and then last night bought a 74GB raptor drive. How do I set up both drives to raid 0?

Why? You'll probably notice a decrease in performance not an increase let alone the fact that they should be the same size.

RAID 0 is very unstable. Your odds of having a mechanical failure double when running RAID 0 just due to the fact there are 2 hard drives and it only takes one crashing for you to be ten kinds of fucked. Single raptors should more than suffice

RAID 0 = fail
These guys are right. I remember when I worked at Fry's, the dumbasses in corporate designed all the new Fry's PCs to operate in RAID 0, and there where a record number of returns on the those things, not that anyone ever buys the overpriced pieces of shit.
