A NIC or network interface card will allow you to gain acccess to your local network or the internet. Without a network interface card, you cannot send or receive emails, watch YouTube, print to network printers, or play Video Games online.

However, that's not to say the the computer is completely useless without it (just mostly useless). You can still run applications that have been installed locally on the PC such as your Microsoft office applications or any video games that you may run off of a CD.

Network interface cards can be picked up anymore for about $25 on average from your local best buy, frys, or other computer store.
