How fast is a Pyramid ship(A Hatak) and how fast are the newer ships?
Did they ever say how fast the various Stargate ships are?

At first, Hatak's were only twice the speed of light, but they got a major upgrade as the series went on.
Asgard hyperdrives seem to be the fastest, with Thor being able to get from his home galaxy to Earth in a matter of minutes.
Otherwise, we have the second fastest hyperdrives, which are based on Asgard hyperdrives, able on their own power to get to Pegasus galaxy in 3 weeks, and with a ZPM it can make the trip in 3 days.
Well I guess you could say the Ancients wormhole drive is the fastest, but I don't know how reliable it is, and if they can make it work again.
Ancients also seem to have very fast intergalactic drives, fitted of course on their city ships, but as for how fast they are we don't really know. We do know the Ancients came to Earth from another galaxy, but we don't know how long it took them then and how fast that ship was. Otherwise, they seem to be on par at least with the Asgard in that area, save for the exception of the wormhole drive. We've seen a city ship in Hyperspace in Atlantis, and it seemed at least as fast as the Deadalus getting from the replicators home world to where Atlantis was.

I think part of that is due to using ZPMs.
Of course, it is powered by ZPMs, thus it can't be too slow, heh.
Obviously, since the ancients were around for a long time, they have varying degrees of technology. It seems Destiny might have been a very early type of FTL drive, and is slower than Hyperdrive, but still pretty fast for its time, and of course Hyperdrive was faster, and Wormhole drive is instant. So Atlantis, being their latest generation of technology before they all ascended, must have been the best Hyperdrive technology that they had before they all went away.
It is very possible the Asgard surpassed the Ancients in Hyperdrive technology since the Asgard were still very active 10,000 years after the Ancients ascended, it is possible the Asgard improved even more on that technology and they might have actually had the "best" Hyperdrives in existence, and if that is the case then we now have that technology.

How far away is the Pegasus galaxy? Is it a real galaxy?
Not really, a lot of people have tried to incorporate it into our universe, pointing to perhaps the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_Dwarf_Irregular_Galaxy
I'm not sure that is it, but it seems to be the closest thing. What we know from the show is that Pegasus is the closest galaxy to the MW, in the Stargate universe, and is closer to the MW than Ida (the Asgard home galaxy) is. It was said that Pegasus Galaxy was 3 million light years away in the show. So not bad getting there in 3 days with one ZPM
You are right, I have my galaxies reversed, sorry, Ida is supposed to be between, or at least closer to, the MW galaxy than Pegasus. It is a fully pretend galaxy.
Also supporting the theory the Ida is closer to the Milky Way than Pegasus, we know that an Asgard ship ca get from Earth to Ida in a few minutes. However, it takes an Asgard ship a week to get from Earth to Atlantis, as established in the Atlantis episode Misbegotten.
Actually, Pegasus must really be far away considering that drastic a difference.

It has been stated that Pegasus is 3 million light years away.
Tt has also been stated that the exact number is 18 days for our ship to get to Atlantis from Earth (sans ZPM), so that is just a little over two and a half weeks, that is of course assuming they go full bore, if they slow it down a little could be up to 3 weeks.
So if the Asgard can get there in 1 week, does show how much faster their tech is.
Of course, add a ZPM and BAM, takes our ship 3 days to get there, that is 1 million light years a day basically, not bad
We also learned in this last episode of SGU that Earth is working on their second gen Hyperdrive engines, no doubt taken from Asgard technology again.
Basically, Asgards have AWESOME hyperdrives, and add more pwoer to that like a ZPM and you will get far fast.

Well we have only visited 5 galaxies in SG-1 not counting the Milky Way. The farthest that it is implied we have gone is the Alteran Home Galaxy because they needed the Supergate to get there. It was also stated that it would take a year for the Ori Motherships to reach the Milky Way from it in "Counterstrike".
The second farthest is assumed to be the Unnamed Galaxy visited in "Enemies" which we needed a supernova to get us there ( at least in a Ha'tak).
We can easily reach Othala with a ZPM powered Odyssey as evidenced by "Unending" as such the Ori Motherships can get there pretty fast too.
According to "The Fifth Race" and "Enemies" Ida is 4 million lightyears away.
Also as we have already established Pegasus is 3 million lightyears away.

Well considering the Asgard left Earth a database that contained ALL THEIR KNOWLEDGE that's a safe bet.
Did they mention they were in another galaxy in "Unending"?
They do say at one point "we've re-entered the Milky Way." That makes it pretty clear they were in another galaxy.
