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.
NIC stands for Network Interface Card. It is connected to the motherboard of the computer. It provides the device with a MAC address and allows a device to access a computer network such as the internet.
