This is likely a problem. The Apple OEM TT cards do not work with OS X. That card may or may not work.
I agree entirely with Tim, look for a newer machine supporting OS X first. Your experience will be a lot better, especially if it's a '..being forced to upgrade..' situation.
Even a B&W G3 will probably run Panther better than that system, certainly it will if upgraded to a G4.
The drive bus isn't as fast as that SCSI card, but that could be transferred to the B&W if you really wanted, but large ATA drives are so ridiculously cheaper, and a ATA-133 card isn't going to be a lot slower than that SCSI, particularly since the REST of the system is going to be considerably faster.
