I observed a milder version of the symptoms with a Dell Latitude D830, which also has ICH8, using ext3. The problem became noticeable only when fsck found about 30 errors (duplicated blocks, wrong blocksizes, inode inconsistencies..) that needed to be repaired in manual mode during the first routine check after upgrade to Jaunty. Apparently his concerned only a few files. Otherwise the system had seemed stable.
