Our AM5728 motherboard includes two PCIe sockets
  http://shop.elesar.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50

so the effort there is lower than on an X15; you just plug compatible 
expansion cards in the socket. 

Plugging aside, it's worth reading the 5 PCIe errata before going too far, 
and bearing them in mind:
* i847 might catch you out with low drive level depending on which rev chip 
your X15 has
* i870 might catch you out if registers are byte spaced (eg. a serial port 
arranged to look like the original IBM PS/2 peripheral)
the other 3 errata are pretty benign,
James.
