Remember newer is not automatically better
For sure. I run one and absolutly love it. Much better than a certain newer card I ran before it.
The only drawback about this card is that you need an adapter to connect her to a modern network.
True, but AUI->10-B-T Trancievers are cheap (sometimes free) nowadays. Not a big drawback unless space behind the machine is a concern. And, honestly if that bit of space is a concern, that you'll probably have nasty problems with heat that may make you rethink the enclosure....
