Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using the the two port on a dual

Hopefully, the dual-port Intel Nics are pci-e, and so will be the fastest.
The legacy Intel NIC could be PCI, and will be a bit faster than the Marvel
nics.
Thanks guys. Yes, the duals are PCI-E, and the legacy is a PCI.
I use the slower nics for connecting to stuff like waps, or less critical
nets.
Yep. That is what I do too. Though I only need five interfaces right now.
The Marvels can be backups, and I can pull some additional Intel NICs out
of the old router when I cut over (though this mobo is out of slots).
