This question doesn't make much sense. An expansion board NIC has not been a standard component on computers for several years. Most NIC (Network Interface Controller) are built-in on the motherboard.
Almost all motherboards (except some gateways, which have no NIC) have a 10/100 standard ethernet controller. Some may have gigabit ethernet controllers.
Many systems, mostly laptops, have built-in wireless as well.
In some rare instances (Gateway) instead of using an NIC, it comes with an onboard wireless card as it's exclusive means of communication.
How do you access information stored on your hard drive?
HOW TO GET DATA OFF YOUR HARD DRIVE When your computer will not boot up or run at all, and you have no back up of your data, there are ways to retrieve your data. COMPUTER WON'T BOOT There are programs that can boot your computer from the floppy drive or the CD drive. If your computer hardware is all good, but windows won't boot the computer, you can probably boot the computer up from the floppy or CD drive.
I have used a programm called "Spotmau Recovery Disk". It is a program that I downloaded from the internet. The computer I was working on would not boot up at all because of a registry error. I didn't want to us the manufacturers recovery disks, because they erase all the data on the hard drive.
The Spotmau program allowed me to run the computer from the CD drive and use a Data Recovery program to copy files from the hard drive to a flash drive. The flash drive plugs into the USB port. A flash drive can be bought at office supply stores and department stores.
Then I transfered the files from the flash drive to the hard drive of another computer.
I couldn't get the registry problem fixed, so I had to run the recovery disks to get the hard drive back to the point where it was when the computer was bought. Then I had to re-install all the software, and copy the files back.
This is all very time consuming, so be prepared for spending a lot of time working on the computer. COMPUTER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING If the computer will not do anything, you will have to remove the hard drive and put it into another computer. It won't even try to boot or you determine there is a hardware problem. DATA WAS DELETED OR OVERWRITTEN There are also programs that will recover deleted files.

Difference between online and real time processing?
Real time processing occurs immediately the function is sent to action.
Online processing is set in queue and can take overnight to process. In most cases online processing is like this web page. Information typed in and it take minutes to go through the up load and populating process.
A classic case of on line processing is the banks pay in /out process - What you pay in NOW at the bank shows on your account after midnight (normally) but is there by start of trade tomorrow. This is because with real time updates multiple actions would lock down a sequence of events. A queue is formed to prevent this

Why does a computer need peripheral devices?
Actually - it doesn't ! Peripheral devices are not for the computer's benefit - they're to aid the user. A computer will function perfectly well without a monitor, keyboard, rinter, or even a modem. The monitor lets the user see what the computer is doing, the keyboard lets the user interact with the information on the screen. The printer serves only to produce 'hard copy' so the user can take it away from the computer. The Modem is only needed if the user wishes to connect to another computer or the internet !
Yes. China has more computer users than any other country, but their internet access is controlled by the government, and is rather limited.

What is the advantage of using a disk controller to control the hard disk?
The use of a separate disk controller frees the CPU to perform other tasks. In particular, the disk controller can manage DMA transfers, which otherwise would have to be done by the CPU. The disk controller also manages the movement of the disk head and reading or writing of the data on the disk. Again, without the disk controller, the CPU would be forced to perform these operations.
