I'm using onboard lan right now. If I use a nic card, would it help my processor out at all? You know, kinda like a graphics card would instead of onboard video?

how? Most onboard solutions are connected via the pci bus anyhow.

most onboard nics use system resources. a non onboard nic uses less if not none.

So I guess it would be better just to put the nic card in. Not like its gonna hurt anything anyways.

i dont think there will be any performance diffrence...but even if there is it will be incredibly small, i would use an onboard solution if you have it.
