Do check your /proc/interrupts though. With my P4P800 I found that when set to Enhanced mode, and when ide-scsi was carefully avoided, I was still getting a storm of interrupts that were doing rather bad things for system performance. Can you check if you are also seeing the same thing? i.e. does the interrupt line with your ide controller(s) on it show bazillions of interrupts?
