Hi ppl, I have installed the correct IDE controller, and already enabled DMA in kernel, but my hdparm's stats show a weak performance on both HD's.

HuTcH,
You will get a small improvement if you turn on multicount. This allows 16 blocks to be read per interrupt.
UDMA2 is as fast as you can go with 40 wire IDE ribbion cables. Your Intel 440BX Chipset does not support faster modes.
Did you make your speed tests when nothing else was running ?
If not, repeat them. The 11.24MB/sec is a little low for UDMA 2 but not alarming.
The < 1Mb/sec for hdb is an alarm signal. It may be getting a lot of read errors.
Things to try:-
emerge smartmontools and read the drives internal error log.
Put the hard drives on different IDE buses so that commands to both drives can be overlapped.
Keep the CD on the other IDE bus that does not have the hdd used for storing ISO images to be burnt to CD, again so that commands can overlap.
Hae you really got a 3ware Storage Controller or are you using the Intel on baord IDE controller ?

NeddySeagoon thks to trying help me 
What do you mean with 3ware Storage Controller ?
The IDE controller I am currently using is this Intel PIIXn, which I think is the right one.
Here is the output of smartctl -a /dev/hdb where I can see there are lot of errors, but if you can help analysing better the output I would be thankful.

HuTcH,
That tells that you have lots of DMA related errors. The errors cause retries, which result in a very low useful data rate.
Some things to try:-
A new IDE cable
Moving hdb to the other IDE interface, where your CD is and retest
Turning off DMA for hdb.
As hda is ok, unplugging the IDE cable from hdb and reconnecting it may help
The drive is fairly old and has got hot (61) some time in the past.
It has had a reasonable number of bad sectors but still has some spares left.
On balance, I don't think its a drive issue, well not yet.
