Are there any 6.0GB/s sata add on cards that run on PCI-Express 1.0 and not 2.0.

I got a older MB and they don't come with PCI-E 2.0 ports and I want to get a SATA III SSD but to get the full potential I need to get SATAIII ports....

To get a good card that will actually be reliable you are going to pay ~$100. Just buy a new motherboard and be done with it. Any SATAIII card under that will be some shitty jmicron chipset with terrible drivers and you wont want to use it as a boot drive.

Save your money and put it toward an upgrade. 775 is quite old by now.

Its free, someone gave me a e8400 cpu and MB. I was thinking of building a 2nd computer so I don't have to share my Q6600 system.
I don't do much gaming anymore so old is fine. I just wanted to experience the new SSD that's all.

I know that, but that is like having a Ferrari and only driving it 65 mph on the open freeway......

You are never going to notice the difference between a SATAIII SSD in a SATAII port vs. a SATAIII port. The only time you are going to notice is if you start running synthetic benchmarks for e-peen. Just get the drive and use it on the SATAII port.
