MCA is in the default debian kernel.
I think you should look at the part after that rather than worry about MCA.
do you have any scsi devices?
the other thing to look at is a hardware conflict. Which might explain why
your network transfers are a bit stuffed. Network cards are a likely
candidate for IRQ/IO conflicts. I would also make sure your bios is set to
reset the config data and PNP OS is set to No
