motherboard with 2 NICs

[kevinali]

I have the x38-dq6 motherboard and it has 2 on board NIC. Currently i have one connected to my router (hardwired) and i have the other disabled. My question is can i do anything with the second NIC to speed up my browsing and downloading files

I was thinking about running another cable from the second NIC into the second port of the router...would this help

Any input will be greatly appriciated

Thanks

Kevin

The bottleneck to your internet speed is going to be your connection speed to your ISP (either your cable line or DSL line). Unless of course you have multi-gigabit service to your ISP.
