I don't think there are any PCIe boards that are too old to support.
FWIW, I have a Geforce 8800 GTX on my dual boot box and the nVidia
driver works mostly.  It's still pretty buggy (although this is on
7-Current, so it's hard to tell if it's the driver's fault or
FreeBSDs), but it's good enough for day to day stuff (just don't play
too many movies or start up too many OpenGL apps, and don't try to
return to the console).

On the other hand, the latest nVidia drivers for this card are buggy in
Windows too, so maybe it is their fault.
