2 or even 4 LAN on motherboard
What purpose would someone uses a mobo with 2 or even 4 LAN ports? If it for more internet power, would just having your service provider provide more upstream and downstream bandwidth be the wiser way to go? If not how would you or how is the setup for using this many lan ports?
Will update soon

ICS (internet connection sharing) comes to mind.
If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

So are you telling me that the so-call 3 other ports are acting like a router to share the internet with other systems?

From Vista's help file (short version):
How does ICS work?
First, you need one computer, called the host computer, that is connected to the Internet and that has a separate connection to the other computers on your network. You enable ICS on the Internet connection. The other computers on your network then connect to the host computer, and from there to the Internet through the host computer's shared Internet connection.
If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

Here's the product that I mention Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6 and this is what it states on their product website: High Velocity 4X Bandwidth Boost
The Quad LAN with Teaming functionality enabled allows 4 single connections to act as 1 single connection for Quad Bandwidth, improving overall throughput.

Redundancy/Failover/Load Balancing would be the reasons that come to mind.

An alternate use that comes to mind would be the connection to differently addressed networks.

OK so the answer to my first question about "the setup" of such is that I would need 4 single connections install into my home to uses the extra bandwidth, might as well get a T1 line install insted of get 4 single lines.
Will update soon
