Is it possible to use two NIC card in one PC to increase my DSL bandwidth?

I have a 768kbps ADSL at home. Thus I can only get around 80kB/s downloading speed maximum. I also set up a two PC LAN by using a router to share the dsl connection. I noticed that my two pc's can reach 80KB/s downloading speed simultanously. That means, the total bandwidth at that time from my dsl modem is 160KB/s.

So I'm wondering if there's a way I can get this whole 160KB/s bandwidth at one PC? Maybe I can put two NIC's in one PC (running win2k) and hook them up with two ports in my router. Does anyone know if this works or not?

I can use 2 NICs in your PC but I don't know anyway that you can distribute your download on both NICs at the same time.

You can use two NICS, pipe them through a router/switch and it would work, but your not going to have any more bandwith.
unless you have two seperate DSL accounts with seperate drops. =) then, you might... depending on how you hook stuff up. I dunno.

If your only downloading at 80k your NIC is far from being the bottleneck in your setup.
