nic = Network Interface Card. Now days, it is either a
pci slot card or that hole in the back on the
motherboard.
Almost all mobo's today have a built in nic connector
on them and the nic logic is built onto the
motherboard.
One of my friends bought a system..sorta offbrand
one..because he could get it with a credit card. Its
onboard nic didn't work. So when we found out it had
to be shipped to Dallas, tx for repair/replacement, we
just filled one pci slot with the old nic board out of
the old system and it worked fine for years. I now
have that nic here in that system..inherited it. That
board was probably close to ten years old and I think
I am sending via it to you now!
