I have Windows 7 Ultimate, which allows the creation and use of bridged connections, but I myself have never tried to do so.
However, due to the
shared bandwidth limitations of cable internet service, the use of two separate cable modems might not produce a doubling of throughput.
I have Win7 Pro, and bridge the two 'net cards for Internet sharing. It works great. I just plug my notebook into the other card on my desktop, and instant 'Net access.
Of course when I tied this new config with two modems, I deleted the bridge, got both modems to work, then bridged them.
Still, one modem was always used 99.5% (modem 2), the other(modem 1) a piddly .5% or less.
It would be nice to be able to use one modem for NB at 100% of available 12.5MB/sec, and the other modem for other 'Net apps.
