Not necessarily. If the mobos are from different manufacturers or just different models, the PCI IRQ wiring could be totally different
And when you suddenly end up with your TV card sharing an IRQ with your soundcard, it can really ruin your day.

did you check to see if they have different drivers for the two ?
or were you going off specs ?
