What operating system are you running, Windows 2000, xp nt 4 or linux? If you are running windows 2000, then go on microsoft's website and look for ATA 100 for windows 2000 and download the patch to enable ATA 100. If however you're drives aren't ATA 100 and only ATA 66, go to tweak3d.net under their tweak guide and locate the windows 2000 hard drive tweak guide, then look in their guide for the ATA-66 registry patch, run that then reboot. If this doesn't solve the performance issue, might I suggest SCSI? 
I have Windows 98SE and using the same setup (MSI on Board Promise RAID 0, Desktop setting, same IBM drives)I managed to get Sandra scores over 40,000.
