If I wanted to do this new raid-0 set up for SSD's - Do I need Ivy Bridge? I assume that is not what I have listed with the 3960K processor and then is the motherboard I have still ok...
What would I have to change? or simply change my SSD drive to be 2x256gb and put them in raid-0 and *poof* it's done?

Looking at the comments section on the Anand article where they tested it I'm going to guess the X79 chipset from that motherboard does NOT support this (way to go Intel).
In theory if it was supported then yeah all you would do would be to attach 2 drives instead of one, setup the drives as a RAID array in the BIOS and poof it's done, install Windows, etc.
Doing a bit of reading it seems the performance gain in the real world is a bit underwhelming.
