I just need a sanity check. I 'think' I am running this SSD at SATA2 speeds since the sequential Read in CrystalDiskMark is over 150 MB/s (SATA1 speed). Is this correct?

I think you are doing fine.
I have used a Samsung MMCRE28G8MXP (DELL OEM version) MLC SSD with Middleton BIOS (+SXGA mod) on my X61 with WinXP.
Crystal Mark 3.0, 5x 1000MB
Seq Read: 178.5
Seq Write: 163.7
512k Read: 152.0
512k Write: 66.23
4k Read: 14.37
4k Write: 5.122
4kQD32 Read: 12.88
4kQD32 Write: 1.988

Thanks for the reply and information. It looks like we're in the ballpark.

My X60 makes about 133MB/s seq. read with my intel G2 (i have a screenshot somewhere, but i can't find it). End of sata1 reached. The X61 makes about 245MB/s w. middleton.

This is from the X61 I got from you. I am using a OCZ Agility2 (60gb).
I really like the machine, it's a bit of a beater, but runs great and is perfect for me to throw in my bag and carry.

@ spuddog, I'm glad that you like the X61. Are you also running Middleton's BIOS?

Yes, I forgot to add that. Also 4gb of ram if that makes any difference
