"oldish"?
I can assure you that this kind of machine is utterly bored while running this
driver - we've been doing an insane amount of code optimization (e.g. on my
P3/700 development machine). ;)
I'm one of those people absolutely refusing to believe that you need the
latest hardware everywhere to keep up with computing ;)

That indicates something rather serious since the card is simply completely
locked up (i.e. 90% firmware problem probability, or at least in combination
with what our driver does to it).

You should really try different firmware versions, some are rather problematic.

If that doesn't help (it should), then upgrading to a newer Denis Vlasenko
driver version would be a VERY good idea... (he did lots of improvements).
