For those who are stuck with PCI (not PCI-E) there is the Sil 3512  
chipset PCI card.

I have no experience with it, but the PCI-E 3132 has been great, and  
if the 3512 is just good, that would be fine with me.

The Initio-based PCI cards have been OK on G4s, but I know they won't  
work on Intel Macs with PCI slots.

The Initio-based cards are 1.5 MB/s; the Si I-based cards are 3.0 MB/s.

The drives will automatically negotiate the speed.
