Quick question.

Anyone know which is the correct card I should buy to replace the failed onboard interface controller?

The cards I've been looking at don't seem to have a visually compatible interface compared with the socket onboard.

Cheers.

Hi:

 

Looking at the picture of the motherboard your PC has below, there are no expansion slots to add an ethernet adapter.

 

The easiest thing to do in my opinion, would be to purchase an external usb to RJ-45 10/100/1000 gigabit ethernet adapter, vice replacing the motherboard.
