Same HD (had a look just now). As for chipset don't know but I bought the 
motherboards at the same time and they should be the same.

No other devices excpet for a cdrom and floppy, all the same.

There are some differences in /proc/ide/ide0 of the two machines. Here's a 
digest, the most significant seems to be different driver numbers.

/proc/ide/ide0/config /mnt/floppy/ide0/config

slow:
>07 a3 07 a3 00 00 00 00 05 00 02 02 00 00 00 00
fast:
>07 a3 07 a3 00 00 00 00 05 00 01 02 00 00 00 00

/proc/ide/ide0/hda/driver /mnt/floppy/ide0/hda/driver

slow:
>ide-disk version 1.12
fast:
>ide-disk version 1.10

side /proc/ide/ide0/hda/settings /mnt/floppy/ide0/hda/settings

too many differences to list.

Why are the ide-disk versions different? This is really weird ...
