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.
