nVidia support is a mixed bag, so maybe not your best choice. Why do
you want PCI-Express, though? It's currently really only used as
an alternative to AGP. And with a dual Opteron system, you're looking
at a server-type configuration, for which the add-on card of choice
is PCI-X right now.

I'd check out some of the other Tyan boards, they're pretty good.
