Is my system running sata or udma?


I've noticed during bootup, that it seems I see that all my devices (2 hdd's and 1 dvd/br burner) are set to use udma 100 or 133 instead of the nice and fast(er) sata speeds of 3 and 6 GB/s.

This is what I see in dmesg on my 32 bit *and* 64 bit Slackware 14.1...

Code:
[    0.963462] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xfe207000 port 0xfe207100 irq 19
[    0.964846] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xfe207000 port 0xfe207180 irq 19
[    0.966204] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xfe207000 port 0xfe207200 irq 19
[    0.968283] scsi3 : pata_legacy
[    0.969634] ata4: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 irq 14
[    1.428047] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[    1.429396] ata1: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)
[    1.430739] ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[    1.432214] ata1.00: ATA-9: WDC WD1003FZEX-00MK2A0, 01.01A01, max UDMA/133
[    1.433529] ata1.00: 1953525168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA
[    1.434869] ata3.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE  WH14NS40, 1.00, max UDMA/100
[    1.436323] ata2.00: ATA-8: WDC WD1600AAJS-00B4A0, 01.03A01, max UDMA/133
[    1.437636] ata2.00: 312581808 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA
[    1.439135] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
[    1.440661] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133
[    1.443364] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100
Does this mean something isn't working right on my system or is it just something else and I'm reading it incorrectly and it *is* using the sata speeds?

Here's my setup:

Processor: AMD FX-6300 Six-Core @ 3.50GHz (6 Cores)
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
Chipset: AMD/ATI
Memory: 4096MB
Disk: 1000GB Western Digital WD1003FZEX-0 + 160GB Western Digital WD1600AAJS-0
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1024MB GDDR5 (1058/1250MHz)
Audio: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1
Monitor: Acer S201HL
Network: Realtek RTL8111/8168

ATA-7 and 8 are UDMA-SATA, you are fine
DMA part of UDMA means modern device access
SATA is the protocol over what it is done

www.t13.org is where the original specs are
