I am currently building a new system planning on replacing a Phenom II X6 with a Bulldozer FX-8150 when its finally released. I am considering buying ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX, which has 2 Ethernet ports. This will be my primary home PC used for business, encoding, DVR, watching TV, security cameras, and occasional light gaming. I just bought the house and its already wired with CAT 6. I know it's a lot to do simultaneously with one PC but I'm hoping BD's 8 cores will allow me to manage quite a bit without having to run multiple systems. Unfortunately, I likely will end up installing the Ceton DVR and Security Cam DVR software each into separate older boxes I already own due to 24/7 operation and severely overclocking my BD will be too hard to resist.
Total setup will consist of the aforementioned parts as well a SSD, 2 x 2TB platter drives, Win 7 Ultimate, 8 GB DDR3 1600, Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner, 6870, and 3 x 23" 1080p's. Possibly will be using a 4th 1,600x1,200 monitor I have if the desktop gets too crowded with the cam feeds.
My question is can I essential create a dual network environment to avoid congestion?
Scenario 1; (1 PC)
Port 1 connected to switch 1 - Internet, home IP security cameras, NAS, WIFI access point
Port 2 connected to switch 2 - Internet, Streaming Video from DVR to HTPC's & Consoles, rest of house wired internet
Scenario 2; (3 PC's)
Port 1 connected to switch 1 - Internet, home IP security camera server (PC 2), NAS, WIFI access point
Port 2 connected to switch 2 - Internet, Ceton InfiniTV 4 DVR Server (PC 3),rest of house wired internet
Pretty much the same question with 2 different setups. Is this possible to accomplish with Win 7 Ultimate? I realize that congestion at the NIC on the BD PC will be limited in Scenario 2, regardless it would an interesting project.
Thanks in advance for any help.
