Hello guys, I really don't know what to do. I can't even install a native ubuntu in my machine. The overall sys performance is awful. Now, the only way to use the system is using wubi, but with poor performance and so much noise from the hard drive. I have a Asus P5K-Premium WI-FI, with a Q6600, 4GB ram and the SAMSUNG HD501LJ . So, I think I can expect a good performance from my machine :) I'm using the Jaunty 64bits beta. I tried to use gutsy and intrepid too, with no good news. What makes me really confuse and sad is that windows vista/xp runs with awesome performance, and no noise.
Here is some info: uname -a output: Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-11-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 27 10:01:17 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux hdparm -tT /dev/sda output: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 8346 MB in 2.00 seconds = 4176.84 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 238 MB in 3.01 seconds = 78.99 MB/sec hdparm -i /dev/sda output: /dev/sda: Model=SAMSUNG HD501LJ , FwRev=CR100-12, SerialNo=S0MUJDWQ146326 Config={ Fixed } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=34902, SectSize=554, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=16384kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=?16?

If I can help, or run some tests, please let me know. This problem is really annoying, and based on the above info, it's bothering many people.
