SSD will always be faster than HDD, but I don't recommend PCI-E Sata3 cards simply because there is no good yet affordable solution. Anything that can push true SATA3 speeds is so expensive (server solutions) that you might just replace a mobo with Sandy Bridge native SATA3.

On a Sata2 port, you would max out at aroud 2xxMBps. Still light year ahead of regular HDD.
