Installing a PCI Card with SATA ports

Can anyone recommend a suitable PCI card to add to a WinME system, that will provide
at least one internal SATA port? My system uses PCI 2.2
I'm trying to add a PCI card with 48-bit LBA, to support a new SATA hard disk larger
than 137GB under WinME.
I'd prefer a PCI card with a Silicon Image chipset. I've heard VIA chipsets can give
problems with SATA (in regard to auto-negotiation between SATA-I and SATA-II), and
that Silicon Image cards are therefore a better choice for adding SATA support. Can
anyone comment on this?
I don't intend to use RAID, so I'd prefer a solution with minimum additional complications
from that angle. Ideally, I'd prefer a PCI card that comes without RAID support
(though it seems to be ubiquitous if there are two or more SATA ports on the card).
I'd be happy to settle for a card that has optional RAID (e.g. one on which no RAID
support exists unless you install it from the driver CD).

Thanks, but I'd already seen all those results in Google.
I've posted here because I'm trying to make contact with anyone who has actual experience
of using a SATA PCI card with Windows ME, and who therefore has genuine insight into
the problems and benefits of using this new SATA technology with the older hardware
that's typically found in WinME systems.
