Got another quick question....

I have the EVGA nForce 680i SE SLi mobo. I have two ethernet connections. Ive heard of a way that you can configure one for dedicated upload and the other for dedicated download from the internet connection... Is this even possible?? I know that you can use teaming for double the transfer but thats more or less for server or large file transfers.... just wondering..

Im not really sure. My guess would be it would be pointless depending on your WAN speed. Most of the time people are limited by that.

Maybe someone knows better.

Yeah that would be kinda pointless... unless you cap out on the Gigabit speed of the network card (or Megabit, depending on your router).. but seeing as how you would no way have an internet connection that fast, its totally pointless...

If you have 2 Ethernet ports and/or 2 Ethernet Cables connected to those ports. You can create a "Network Bridge" in networking center. This is just like running SLI with GFX. You don't get a faster/slower connection speed, but it balanced the connection loads.
