Sure, why not? You may want to upgrade to 16M flash and a version of 12.1 for the IOS. A very important thing to remember--which I learned the hard way last night--is that you may need to upgrade your boot roms to allow the router to accept more memory. In my case, I had 10.2(5) boot roms and they won't accept AMD 8M flash sticks. I need, at minimum, 10.2(7a). Apparently, Cisco will send you new boot roms for free as long as you pay shipping. Somewhere in the archives is the phone number to call for this.
You may also want to get a token ring MAU and two routers with token ring interfaces. You'll need these more for CCIE studies.
