    USB-powered case fans?

    Purpose of two ethernet ports?

    Thanks for the replies everyone - now I just need to know how you "team" the two adapters together. Edit: Also, I currently live in an apartment complex where I have two distinct cable connections available to me. One is provided by the apartment and the other is one I pay for personally...

    Purpose of two ethernet ports?

    For instance, take this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188013 Has two ethernet ports, and from what I can tell both are capable of up to 1000mbps, so what's the point?

    Purpose of two ethernet ports?

    First of all, I'd like to apologize for this noobie question, but I just don't understand the purpose of having two ethernet ports on a motherboard. Is it possible to utilize two ethernet ports to increase your bandwidth or something? Thanks in advance for explaining to this poor hapless...
