Hmmm..
I've got my C300a roasting at 464mhz @ 2.0V and it really is Intel's dark
secret. :) 1.3Mkey/sec with RC5 smokes MIPS chips and a lot of others.

That's super odd. The kernel for some reason is thinking you've got the
original PIIX chipset. That, I think, is where a majority of the problem lies.
I have used, with this harddrive, 2.0.35 and 2.1.12x.. I really didn't do much
of anything under 2.0.35 but it did correctly ID the PIIX4.

That's super odd once again. :)
It might be worthwhile to check out developer.intel.com and check out the
errata on the PIIX4.. I briefly scanned it but didn't notice anything that
would really explain this.
I'll have to do a bonnie suite test when I get a chance under 2.0 and 2.1
This has got my curiosity peaked.
