Zacate - Add another NIC?
#1
Is there any way to add another NIC to these Zacates?

I use ViprVPN to download content from my provider. Problem is I also want to stream to other devices locally on the LAN at the same time and I'm not sure if the ViprVPN and local network can be available on same NIC simultaneously.

Did not know that. Suspected but wasn't sure. Thank You Sir.
Next question. Will using that PCI Express x1 NIC degrade performance of something else on same bus? Like i dunno, video? Or something?

How about a dirty usb NIC ? Smile

But tbh just create a virtual interface or maybe even a VLAN if you're up to it instead of wasting your money on a new NIC.

No

By the way you even have VGAs for 1x PCI-e that of course can be used in any PCI-e slot. You can even modd a PCI-E x1 to fit a 16x VGA, not sure about other devices, you can even modd the card itself and not the slot, but that's way more complicated/dangerous.
