some motherboards have two I2C bussees, one for SPD and one for sensors. 
The BIOS uses the I2C bus for SPD, then sets a register so that the I2C 
can only be used for sensors. 

The ASUS CUA works this way. The result is that you have to find the 
hardware that sets the register and change it for SPD.
