Intel X25-M 80gb SSD read speeds bottlenecked at ~100mb/sec in Asus notebook (yet another SSD question)

I just installed a 2nd gen 80gb Intel X25-M SSD in my Asus F50SV-X1 notebook, running Windows 7 RC1 64bit, and the read speeds seem to be bottle-necked at about 100mb/sec per HD Tune 3.5 (HD Tune image).

Now, I figure that with a SATA I connection to the SSD in this computer, that I wouldn't be getting the full 250mb/sec read speed this SSD is capable of, but I thought I would be getting around 150-175mb/sec typical of a SATA I connection.

Does anyone know why I am only getting around 100mb/sec, and what I might do to fix this? Is there some driver fix, or some incredibly simple hardware change I can make to take care of this?

Thanks in advance for your time!

PS It appears there's no RAID or AHCI options in my BIOS - I know AHCI allows for TRIM, etc, but I'm not sure if this matters for the speed of the connection though.
 
ugg, good point- is that soldered to the mobo, or is that some easily swappable part? or is it even more complicated than i'm imagining?
 
mmm, i didn't notice they even offered them in PCI... but apperantly:
PCI (12)
PCI Express (33)
PCI-Express x8 (2)
PCI-X (20)

PCI is counter productive, the PCI bus is far too slow to even max out SATA1, much less SATA2

Although. pcie 1x v1 will also be unable to max it out; it will get close though
