My motherboard specs say it is sata-150. does that mean it cant use a
sata-300 disk? whats the diff, other than the 150 integers.

you can use 300 but it will run at 150

Speed of the interface. You can use the 300 on a 150 interface.

The SATA-300 can theoretically transfer data twice as fast.

With emphasis on "theoretically", as most drives cannot even begin to
approach the speed of the 150 interface. Of course the maximum "burst"
speed may (or may not) benefit, but that is essentially limited to
data in the on-drive cache. Even many SSD disks have sustained
transfer rates below the SATA-150 limit.
