Im not entirely sure what you are on about, but trust me, if you are using it, the system knows it is sata 150. The drive will not use all of its available bandwidth except possibly for short burst reads. Even 7200rpm ata 133 drives only average 60-70 mb.

Are you wondering why it doesn't say sata150? Its probably because there is only one sata standard your board can use: sata150. However, it can use pata133, 100, 66, and so on, so it specifies which it is using.
