What improvements can you expect from using a LAN card on a computer that already has on-board LAN?

The short answer is that there will be negligible difference between an network interface card and an onboard network interface. Conventional wisdom is to use the one onboard if the motherboard is newer than the card. I think it is sound advice. The more complicated and long answer is that "it depends". But this answer probably isn't relevant unless you are setting up a server or maybe you are a gamer with the ultimate rig who wants to squeeze a few extra frames out of their favourite first person shooter. I don't think anyone can give you an exact answer without knowing the specific details of your onboard and card network interfaces.
