So especially is SATA problem free with the chipset - the RAID Next add: to make a long story short - the new, exchanged board with new hardware revision is completely dead now. It silently died after 5 hours while running Windows® 2003 server 64bit evaluation version on it with a bit moderate stress testing. The system suddenly stopped with black screen and it wasn't possible to start the computer again at all. I did run Windows® on it to see whether the other problems with sudden freezes were Linux related. Well, now I have bought an ASUS desktop board with Nforce4 chipset I am happily running an AMD64 3500+ instead of the former Pentium IV 630 (3,2 GHz with EM64T) - and the system seems to be absolutely stable. The ITE super I/O chip is properly recognised by lm_sensors while with the Intel Entry Server Board I would have had to implement OpenIPMI - with open end. Would have been interesting to see how that goes, but the board is now going home to Intel by my local vendor.
