Open it up.

If it has white slots there pci
should look like this: http://www.hothardware.com/reviews/images/tualatin/pci_slot.jpg

99% of the time any wired network card will do, get a cheap one for under £20 - there usually very good and it if doesnt work then no loss

generally you dont. if you get a fairly standard one they usually work first off with anything above windows 98. If for some reason it doesnt work, its easy to fix anyway

P.S you should fill in your profile so I know what country you are in and can send you appropriate links
