Have to ask... I was planning on getting an ATA-133 for my 9600. From
what you guys are saying, the faster speed would be useless, and that I
would do just as well with a ATA-66 or lower?
(that *would* save me a lot of money! ;-) )

There are two reasons that I can think of that you might want to spend the
extra money for the 133 card.
First if you plan on moving the card into a newer Mac at some later date.
Second if you plan on buying a drive larger than 128gigs then you need the
faster controller in order to recognize the space >128gig
The lowest cost card with the greatest compatibility that is presently
availabe new is the Acard 66 (under $49.99 @ OWC
<http://eshop.macsales.com/Item_MailList.cfm?ID=3853&Item=ACDAEC6260M>) you
can get a refurbished VST66 card from SmartDisk for $59.99.
