I use this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 in
my home (FreeBSD) server.
(When I ordered it it came with full height and LP plates but I didn't get it
from Newegg so YMMV)
Never used it with a USRP2 though, however Intel em cards are widely regarded
as being very good.
If you really did mean PCI instead of PCI express then I think I had one of
these in an older server..

It was also an excellent performer.
