Having built a bunch of desktop pcs from parts, I'd say adjacent ports almost certainly share an internal hub. Typically, a single mobo header will run a wire to a double slot at the front, or a double slot at the back. So plugging one in at the front, and one at the back, will get round this unless it's actually just one hub in the ?northbridge.
