My motherboard is an MSI 875PNEO and includes a gigabit ethernet LAN could I connect it here? Or is this just for connecting pc to pc??
If I cannot do it this way what do I need to connect?? And what modem should I buy?? Is a more expensive one better?? IE: better and transferring faster etc.....
Or after all that......Is USB as good as ethernet or is ethernet indeed better?
Tnx in advance.

If you buy an ethernet modem/router it'll probably come with an ethernet cable and full instructions on how to hook it up and configure it, normally it's very easy. Ethernet is better than USB as it doesn't use any CPU cycles (or at least anywhere near as many, unless you have one of the dodgy old 3 Com NICs)
