The Celeron is definitely not the problem... shoot from what I've seen the lack of cache actually helps performance (very slightly) on large bulk memory transfers.

Ok... I'll try after Thanksgiving (don't want to toast my server right before I leave:). Which kernel are you using? Do you have UDMA enable in the BIOS? The board is a SuperMicro P6SBA (BX chipset) and it has a PIIX4 on it.
Which the ShuttleHOT 569A w/ P75 here at work gets even worse performance on the IBM 8.4gig 5400rpm drive.
