I believe that ypu can also 'team' both together for extra speed;
although I don't get this.
Yes, you can perhaps two subnets; again I do not get this, but 2 NICs
allows this.
It may be a 'dead' feature for sure, but I am certain you will get many
smarter replies about this.
I don't use this at all on my LAN, but I believe I am very old
fashioned................. :)

Every Motherboard I have purchased in the last ten years has twok Gb

but I have yet to find anyone who needs to do this let alone actually
uses them. It seems to me to be about as useful as the Firewire port
they seem to put on all high end boards. Does anyone here use their
two motherboard NICs? Is there a great use for the extra NIC that I am
unaware of? Has someone found a creative way to employ two NICs or is
this just another dead feature that hasn't fallen to wayside as of yet?
