A quick bit of research informs me that the PCI bus can only accommodate up to 133 MB/sec, which is slower than both S-ATA (150 MB/sec - sorry about the mbps mistake in the previous post) and SCSI (i forget, but it can vary).

Essentially, unless your motherboard has an onboard SCSI or S-ATA port, the fastest performance you are going to get is 133 MB/sec regardless.
