What happens if you disable LSO ip4 v1 and v2 on a gigabit adapter? Will it impact my network connection at all on a home computer used for streaming and gaming

LSO is a method for taking work that the CPU normally would do and having the NIC do it. If working properly it will save you a couple percent of CPU. For most of us, that really isn't that important and so turning it off will have no discernible effect. There are cases where NIC drivers don't play nice with this feature and turning it off gives a better connection.
