I want to buy a pair of sata drives but my present motherboard is
using a PCI 133 ATAPI controller connected to two IDE drives.
Can SATA drives be connected until I get a new motherboard?


No......but SATA PCI controllers can be purchased fairly reasonably
and will save you buying a new MB.


Does he get the same potential benefit of RAID with just a PCI SATA
controller?


That probably depends upon the controller. Many of them support it.
