Connection to the internet or a network can be done through several ways, but most popular is the network card.
By way of assembly there are two types of boards:
The preferred is to have an onboard card because the capabilities are the same, and save a PCI slot that will be available for something else. The only advantage of expansion cards is if a power overload on the cable network appears may destroy only the network card not the entire system. In the other case, the probability to damage the entire system is higher. Therefore the purchase of a UPS for protection and network cable is a very healthy choice for your PC.
Nowadays most motherboards comes incorporated with network cards so you do not have to worry about buying one.
Old network cards were very low speeds: 1-10 MB / sec. Latest models were 10/100 and new models have come to 100/1000, which means about a speed of up to 110 MB / sec, considering the rigor and control errors in force on 1 / 8 of the band board , assigned by default. It jumped up on the idea that you too easily achieve these speeds. In the happiest cases, even in a local network can reach such a speed, yet is highly dependent transfer speed hard drives to transfer an average of 25 MB / sec. If you have a RAID, you can get higher speeds. I find myself in a neighborhood with fiber optic network and I have reached at an incredible speed of 27 MB / sec by transferring from multiple computers simultaneously, but do not forget that in this case depends not only on hard drives of computer systems but also bandwidth network / Internet and availability to other participants of the network.
