Just stick with SATA2.

I am still using SATA2 now, with a Crucial C300, and yes it maxes out the speed at 270MB/sec for the interface, its still fast.

If your thinking of getting that ASUS U3S6? - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CC-000-AS&groupid=701&catid=49&subcat=

Then it may not work with your board as it has a limited compatibility list, although when I saw a review of it in CustomPC mag awhile ago it was tested with a Gigabyte board.
