This is not true. PCI Extreme 3.1 stopped working for one single OS X Update, I believe it was 10.4.4 perhaps, and works fine in all other versions of Tiger including 10.4.11.
I don't have any other PCI cards in my machine so even if I did enable the patch I wouldn't know if it would slow down my ata bus.
If you place your PCI video card in the special video PCI slot, there will be no slowdown because the special video slot is double the speed of the regular PCI slots, and makes your PCI video card the equivalent speed of AGPx1, the minimum speed for Quartz Extreme according to Apple. Using PCI Extreme on a B&W or Yikes should be the optimal use for PCI Extreme because of the special video PCI slot.
