As far as I know the only way that you will make them work faster is by getting 2 100gb SSDs and having them in a RAID 0 array. but I wouldn't really advise it.
And why wouldnt you advise it?

RAID 0 stripes the data across 2 (or more) disks. The problem is that there is now double the chance that you can loose all of your data on the SSDs because there is no data redundancy. So if either of your SSDs die all of your data is gone. As far as I know it is not possible to rebuild any of the data lost in a RAID 0.
It is kind of a risk/reward thing. I don't think that having the extra speed is all that necessary when yo compare it to doubling your chance of losing all of your data.

SSD Rarely die RARELY!

Well that would be your decision then. If it is worth it to you then go for it.

...and comparing it to hdd, if thats what you've been using.
It's been said that raid for ssd is worth the performance, but it was with more than 2 or 3 drives.
I believe atm, Intel has an ACHI/raid driver and AMD does not. w/o ACHI you loose those features, which include TRIM.
