Your rig is almost identical to mine (except my mobo is a Foxconn and my SSD is a Vertex 2); I wonder why there is a penalty for using a PCI-E SATA3 card though, since technically the onboard...

I'd rather go with Assured Quality for SSD's than cheapness. SSD's that are poorly manufactured can result in BSOD's, loss of data, etc. That being said, there are much better SATA III's hitting...

Will this work in my early 2008 MacBook Pro? It is capable of 1.5GB/s which I guess is SATA 1. I know that the extreme will work but I'm not sure if the ultra will.

The Sandisk Ultra is cheap because it only contains async NAND, not just because of the SATAII. Async gets much slower real world speeds compared to synch NAND.
