Drivers upgrade for Nvidia MCP79 (Intel SSD 330 working on 1,5gb/s)

Hi guys! Couple days ago i've bought a new ssd for my macbook pro 2009 - Intel SSD 330 120GB. This one. I've put ssd instead my hdd and put second one instead superdrive. And i got 120SSD Intel + 750HDD Seageate. But SSD disk working on SATA I mode. I found that NVIDIA chip MCP79 doesn't support this SSD. There is some driver update for chipset. Firmware for a macbook the latest. SSD will be working on SATA II if I install Lion? Any decisions...

Here is screens:

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I should to try reset PRAM first. I'm happy my Intel SSD 330 working on SATA II. If somebody has same problems try use this method.

I have tried this and it didnt work, I tried resetting it twice. What else did you do before? did you do a firmware upgrade?

I didn't upgrade the firmware for SSD or Macbook Pro because firmware was the last one. This method works partly. After reset PRAM SSD works on 3gbps but after 1-2 restarts is reset to 1,5. Not only I have a such problem. I've tried different Mac OS (10.6.8, 10.7.4, 10.8) - same bug. I strongly recommend DO NOT BUY INTEL330 SSD for Macbook Pro with NVidia MCP79 Chipset. SSD DOESN'T WORK correctly with SATA II.
