Problemmatic hardware with Linux is generally only new video cards, cheap USB <br>
devices, and generally other new/cheap things. Any modern AMD64 system will <br>
run Linux and if it has PCI slots will take the existing hardware.<br>

Does the previous system have hard drives or SSDs? If you replace a system <br>
with hard drives with a system that has SSDs then making it suitably quiet <br>
shouldn't be difficult.<br>

Everything has one Ethernet port on the motherboard and PCI and PCIe Ethernet <br>
devices are cheap.<br>

<br>
I suggest not replacing that card, that would just add more work for yourself. <br>
Get an older system with both PCI and PCIe slots and it will be fine.<br>
<br>
A system that has PCI slots will probably be about 11 years old, so you will <br>
probably have about the same speed of system as you previously had if the <br>
previous was bought new.<br>
