I am looking for cheap network cards, with good speed, not anything fancy though.

 

Actually something quite old and legacy will do. That is actually what I am looking for.

You can get NICs here in freakin' hypermarkets for like $4-$5 and sometimes they're actually decent. Not gigabit, but still decent. My mom has a TP-Link that I paid $3 for and it's been running smoothly for the past 4-5 years

Are you looking for something to put in a older system?  Or just something super cheap?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
