If you have a spare PCI slot you don't have to replace your motherboard. 
Promise and others, I think, make PCI controllers for SATA drives.  See
the ChipList.txt in the danis506 documentation for a list of controller
chipsets that she supports.  OTOH, a new motherboard would probably have a
faster interface for the SATA controller than PCI.
