    What's so special about 4 IDE channels? You probably have got a MB revision with on-board an IDE Raid controller (most likely made by Promise).

    What's about video card?

    Whats werid is that I've never seen one like this. It has 2 highspeed and 2 normal.
    It also went nuts when I tried to put in a new video card(4x slot, 4x card+should work). Its also refused to take anymore ram. It had 256MB PC-100, and it went nuts when I added another 128MB PC-100 or PC-133.(I had both) I didn't even get a POST beep.(Also when I put in the Video Card, I didn't get a POST beep)
    It just seemed like it was a odd board.

    Check your power supply (use another one, if you can borrow it from someone)... The video card uses +3,3V and +5V from power supply (not sure about schematics of that particular board, though).

    Check your memory sticks one by one using any good memory tester (like memtest86 or similar)
