Although I don't have a PCI example, I have two AGP cards which are identical other than some different numbers on the GPU die and only one will work with these "problem" motherboards. The card is fine in other boards but is consistently unrecognized by the BIOS on all systems that have this issue.
Maybe there is a problem with the tolerance on one of the parts that is borderline and it's affecting the timing or some voltage circuitry.
I also have two other TNT Pros for AGP where one is fine but the other will have this problem but only sometimes. Resetting the system a couple times usually gets it working and then it seems to stay working. It has only tantalum capacitors so it's not a dried out electrolytic.
