Solution Someone Somewhere Jul 25, 2015 If you mean add-on card, there's basically none. Onboard NICs are usually just as fast as the add-in cards (until you start looking at 10GbE cards), and take up less room. Only real reason for add-in NICs is if you want multiple NICs, or you need 10G ethernet.
