Default Adding two additional NICs to Optiplex 3010 mini tower


The Optiplex is required to connect to three networks so we need to add
two additional Network Interface Cards.

The machine can support only 8GB maximum RAM from

It would be running Windows 10 Professional 64 bit.

1. It has PCI slots vacant so
would getting two network cards at

work?

2. Or, would getting something like
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00965J4TS/ be better?
Or, is some other brand better for dual NIC?

Does anything else need to be changed when the motherboard is supporting
3 NICs?

Any suggestions would be helpful.
