Hmm, a quick shot: Is it the same zero-Channel card that Intel also sells for the Sun Fire 65x series? Then its basically a ICP-Vortex design, and I remember, that on Intel Mainboards you need to plug it in a special slot, because it only works in that slot properly. Got some time ago a 65x for a short time to test, and that card worked properly with 4.9R and 5.2.1R.
