Here's a Farallon Ethernet card for Performas http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2756987981&category=4604#ebayphotohosting And then there is also an Asante card for Performas http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2757385353&category=4604#ebayphotohosting And an Apple ethernet card for Performas http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2757798437&category=4607#ebayphotohosting Which one would be your pick to go with the previous mobo? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2757378161&category=25439#ebayphotohosting Will it fit into the current rear access bezel to allow the ethernet port to be accessible? All are cheap enough, combined with the mobo upgrade, a stick of 32 MB, video memory, etc. to keep it reasonable. Guess I'll have to get along with the 2x internal CD and find some caddys.
