Did you upgrade the firmware in the PCI cards?  Lots of people forget that 
they have firmware upgrades too.  I'd also use the software/drivers that 
were made specifically for the PCI cards rather than the generic drivers 
that Windows loads.  Remember to get the latest firmware and drivers off the 
PCI manufacturer's websites.  I've fixed many problems for people by 
upgrading the firmware in their PCI card.
