I have PCI-X and just purchased an unbranded card based on the SiL3124 chipset, as I was only using SATA 1 before. I didn't expect much, but it's actually suprisingly fast. Certainly a lot better than I expected - I've only had it a week, but so far I would recommend it. Mind you, this is my first real forray onto the world of non-SCSI controllers so if I just bought a nightmare chipset with loads of known issues then please tell me :-) -pete.
