Thanks Kirk! I'm hoping that the ethernet card will work, if not I will come back to a PCI card and will contact you. I'm just a bit reluctant to give up my PCI USB ports, as when my machine's up and running I hope to use them for image transfer from a digital camera.
Thank you to everyone who's responded to my query. This is a great list and I'll report back on progress!

They all came out of a load of 50 5400/180's I bought from a school district and they are the AsanteFast 10/100 cards too.
