P67A-UD7 Dual Ethernet Teaming

[legend0fthefall]

Hey all

I have read a few times and have been told a few times that Gigabyte's motherboard tweaking software just is not up to snuff.  The question I have pertains to my motherboard's ability to team the ethernet adapters.  I had a motherboard in the past that did this and it was a phenomenal feature of that motherboard.  Almost doubled my bandwith.  It was not on by default and required the motherboard's tweaking software to turn on.  Unfortunately with the release of Windows 7 my previous motherboard lost the ability to team, the software no longer supported it when updated to run with Windows 7 and motherboard support said that Windows 7 did not support teaming.

So here I am with another motherboard capable of teaming.  Does it really team? If so, how do you turn it on?

Receiving my B3 replacement soon and just wish to cross all the t's and dot all the i's before I get it installed.

Hi

Your new motherboard certainly will support Teaming and the setup of it is described in detail in the manual here:

so it seems pointless writing it all down again here. As to how effective it is I can't say as my P67A-UD5 doesn't have this ability so I can't test it to see.

If you need the teaming software let me know, I have version that works for XP/Vista/Win7.

You do need two separate incoming lines from your ISP for teaming to work but I assume you know that already since you used it before.
