No offense, but personally I wouldn't be building a server around that 
chipset at all.  Via chipsets recently have had IDE problems varying 
from performance issues to stability problems and sometimes even data 
corruption.

Is there any chance you could put an add-on IDE controller card into it 
and see if you get any different results?

Personally I'm not going to be buying another Via chipset for a long 
time, due to their inability to address the current issues, which seem 
to keep getting carried over to each new chipset.
