Buy a new motherboard!

You can get a cheap SATA150 card based on the Sil3112 or 3114 chip that 
works easy and well.  Don't get anything with the Promise chip - it 
works, but insists on loading first, and  you might end up with boot 
order issues.  I couldn't find any resolution for this (wanted to use 
swappable disks...).

All SATA300 controllers I looked at were ridiculously expensive.
