There are 2 pci slots. We've managed to enable one of them; the patch is not
in the repo yet, but you can find the thread here:

  http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-September/024688.html

There's a patch there to that enables the pci slot not on the edge of the
board.

I will make work of getting that patch committed, and I want to figure out
how to enable the other slot too, when I find some time.

I was not aware of PCI-E issues. I am successfully using a PCI-E video card.

Thanks,
Ward.
