Ok, so I'm still on my Q6600 on my p5k deluxe, it has two PCI express x16 slots. I'm planning to get a SATA III pci express 4x card and even though my mobo has pci express 1.0 at 250mb/s max per channel, since I'm running 4x I shoul be able to run a current gen sata III drive at max speed, right?
PCI express is version 1.0, so a x1 pci card has a maximum 250Mb/s per channel according to wikipedia:

I'm thinking of buying this pci express 4x card listed here:

According to theoretical pci express 1 speeds, at 250mb per channel, at 4 channels (cause the card is 4x) i should have a maximum of 1GBPS.
So I should be able to run the fastest consumer SATA III drive on the market without problems, right? for example, say this one:
