I haven't tested it on anything more recent than 5.1 (at least I think it was 5.1, it was a while ago), but I have successfully used a dual port intel 1000 MT in a PCI slot (mind you it is a PCI-X card, but it is backwards compatible).
EDIT: As far as I know, the backwards compatibility with regards to using a PCI-X in a PCI slot is not guaranteed as it also depends on the motherboard. But it should work if the motherboard is not too old.
For the record, I have used 1000 MT NICs in an Intel board with a n330 Atom, and a board with a Q45 (or perhaps it was Q35) chipset, neither of which have real PCI-X slots.
