I am looking at a new Gigabyte motherboard "GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-Gaming G1" and am curious about the dual nic's. When looking on the Gigabyte website, it state that the dual lan will NOT work with teaming. So exactly is the point of having two good but different nic's?
I have a standard network here at home with a D-Link smart switch and then wondered if link aggregation would work if not teaming. From what I understand, LACP and/or teaming helps only when you are accessing multiple devices. I find myself using VMware, gaming, TV (HomerunHD Prime), and Twitch streaming in all possible combinations and thought this would be perfect if it could be done.
Am I out of luck or is there some other great use for two nic's? This is my first post but found that people on this forum are great and usually my searches for questions end up here.
Thanks
