Is NIC a processing device?
In computer hardware, NIC typically stands for a network interface card, commonly also called the network card.While a typical NIC may include some processing capability, this is normally very limited and doesn't qualify the NIC as a general purpose processing device.
Which one is faster a Nic card or a Modem?
A NIC is capable of receiving and transmitting data at a faster rate than a modem. However, if the NIC is connected to a network which is powered by a modem, they will both run at the slower speed of the modem.
