Because a PCI card can only EMULATE a standard COM port; The COM port created/assigned may vary from system to system depending installed devices.

This is DRIVERS issue. You cannot change it. If you have BIOS with assign IRQ to PCI slots - you can change it and remap COM5 address to 3E8h for example.
