I have an nVidia SLI motherboard with dual NICs.
I've tried using nVidia's tool to like them...but SL doesn't weem to make use of both even when the system is set that way.
But you could detech and use both for seperate purposes...mainline on one NIC and sound/media on the other maybe.

And have a 2Gbit upload. |

If such speeds existed then the mere fact you're using network cards to connect to it is your problem, you should be using fibre-channel cards =P

I'm not familiar with the nvidia enet stuff.. Is there something that lets you team the adapters? If so, it probably wants to do something like adapter fault tolerance by default - try looking into link agregation (aka 802.3ad) instead.
15Mb is more than enough for SL - the Preferances setting (network tab) doesn't even allow you to tell it to go over 1.5Mb. Unless you have some specific reason to want to team the adapters, this may be more work than it's worth... _____________________

Nonsense to want to use a dual 100Mb or dual Gbit nic card on a home internet connection.
I highly doubt it will change a thing. _____________________
