You probably mean 250-300MB/s which is what SATA-II is able to
support, and no, standard 32bit/33Mhz PCI does not support more than
133MB/sec...  You are lucky if you get 110MB/sec due to PCI bus
overhead...  So, SATA-1 can max out a standard PCI bus...  Though many
on mobo sata controllers aren't necessarily connected to a PCI bus,
and so may not be limited...
