8500 Port aggregation NIC card for PC
I have the R8500 and want to know if there is a Network Card I can get for my pc, with dual ports, that would allow aggregation between the router and my PC?
Can always try the big box stores or maybe Amazon, etc. Unless you are moving TeraBytes of data off / on your PC, you will never realizw the benefit from dual gig NIC cards. You would have to saturate one link first before LAG would actually kick in.. Typically used for NAS Servers and the like..

Ok, thank you. I just like to tinker with the PC I built, but this seems pointless... Any application for the aggregation ports in a home environment?
A NAS would be in the running.. But, best if you have numerous user's hitting the NAS for video, etc. And, or, numerous simultaneous user backups to a NAS (read lots of data).
