On Board Dual Lan Using

[gcbeldar]

My office consists of 18 Computers connected with a 24 port 10/100 and 2 Gigbit Port switch. One system is using a File/Data Server with Win XP.

Now using a Asus P5B Deluxe MB which has Dual GigLAN can be connected to 2Gigports of switch to double the network performance ?

Will Dual Lan works ?
Will there any performance gain ?

Remarks requested.

If your switch and network card drivers support link aggregation you can use both, but you WILL NOT double network performance. You will only provide two single gigabit links. Highly unlikely you're even using most of a single one.
