In the way of auto-sensing the speed of the network, yes. For example, one NIC could (and is) be made to be able to detect the speed of the ethernet network to which it is connected. Auto-sensing NICs can/will automatically talk at the speed of the network, 10 Mb, 100Mb, or 1000 Mb. If you are referring to Ethernet vs. Tokenring vs. WiFi vs. BNC, that is another story. Theoretically, such a NIC could possibly be designed. However, the media (network cables or the lack thereof) differ too greatly to make the design of such a NIC practical.

Why are RISC architectures referred to as Load-Store architectures?

RISC architectures generally have fewer instructions that operate directly on memory locations than CISC architectures. So, where a CISC machine will have instructions that operate directly on memory, in RISC this would be implemented as: Load from memory into register, do operation on register, store register back into memory. So a lot of the processing revolves around the Load-Store loop.

How many computers do you need to create a network?

You can have as many users you want on an enterprise network provided you have the ip address range for any number of applications. This can be unlimited if properly designed by using sub net addressing or by using a deferred addressing techniques. However care must be taken and follow strict designed rules otherwise there can be clash of addressing standards.
