2. The network transmission speed of the network where the NIC will be used; such as 10, 100 or 1000 megabits (Also called Gigabit).
3. The Operating System to be used. Though most NIC's are compatible with the majority of software systems (e.g. MS Windows, Apple MAC, UNIX, Linux), some older NIC's may not be compatible with a specific version of software.
4. Quality and cost. You can buy inexpensive NIC's but you get what you pay for in the final analysis. The more well known manufacturers will support the NIC for longer periods and often will update drivers for future versions of software.
5. Minor considerations - Wake-On, Upgradeable BIOS, ability to be used in "promiscuous" mode, type of adapter connector (RJ-45, BNC, Token-Ring)

Which address does an NIC use when deciding whether to accept a frame?
Destination MAC address
How does the NIC of a receiving PC use the destination MAC address?
The receiving NIC must check that the destination MAC of a frame is the same as the MAC of the receiving NIC. If it isn't, the NIC isn't the intended destination, and it will just ignore the frame (unless it is set to "promiscuous mode", in which case it will accept all frames).The receiving NIC must check that the destination MAC of a frame is the same as the MAC of the receiving NIC.
