My portable is 64 bit, running Win7 64. MS Office 97 is running happily on it. 
PS6 is installed both  32 & 64 bit, the 
32 to accommodate some plug-ins.

On a machine with SATA headers on the motherboard, an eSATA adapter is simply a 
cable that connects to a SATA header 
inside and an eSATA connector on a steel cover for an adapter slot. You can get 
at least two in one slot. The computer 
has no idea whether any drive is inside or outside the box.

So no, you don't need the old card, but do need the very inexpensive cable 
adapter.
