Took it out and put Sil 3512A card (which can not be flashed) and it worked at UDMA mode 6 and the hard drive is working full speed as well.

Its wierd how can flashing one card taking it out and putting another card make it work ?

Its kinda like how that memory hack that was in the news works, by pulling dims and freezing them.
Keep in mind that there really aren't any UDMA modes for SATA, so this is not really an indicator of performance. (although it might be an indicator of problems). I'd still consider getting the 3114 card, since problems can still crop up again with the 3512.
