Try reading PCI Hardware and Software from  Annabooks.
We use AMCC's S5933 Matchmakers, they work great for
our application.
We previously used PLX parts for or VME boards, but
had a high failure rate.  This time we didn't even
give them a chance.  But, PLX also makes a popular
PCI interface IC.  I would imagine their more popular
PCI controller would be more reliable...
