Remember that dmidecode doesn't detect anything, it merely decodes data provided by the BIOS. If it didn't list all your system slots, it means that the BIOS did not mention the missing ones. So, your best chance is to get a BIOS update for your board from Tyan.

Dmidecode only detected the single pci-32 slot. Board uses NVidia chipset along with AMD PCI-X controller. This is an Alienware system based on a Tyan dual Opteron system.

Attached are some output files from dmidecode and lspci. Hope this helps.
