I need an Ethernet Card
Are the cheap ones OK for High Speed Internet connection?

1. Yes a low cost one would do fine....
Make sure it comes with the drivers....

2. most of the cards out there today are pretty ok
so cheap should work. Make sure you get the right one for your main board though...probable PCI in nature but maybe not...also, just for giggles, make sure there isn't one already on your main board...if you bought the system in the last couple of years it may have an integrated card...

3. I highly recommend...
Anything with the "Realtek" chipset. Cheap and very good. Universal support across OSs.

5. A good network card can be had for about $5.00
if you shop around and find a sale. I remember my first network card cost about $300 back in the day.
