Okay - thanks.

From what I'm reading on Load Balancing it analyzes network traffic and basically evens out the incoming and outgoing load right? Does that eat an undue amount of resources to do that? I have one Gig of RAM in this box.

Next question but related. Both of these NICs are set to have fixed IP addresses (192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.201). Should I set these back to aquire an address from my DHCP before I switch to Failover?

Since I have only the one network switch in house - if it goes down the whole office goes down anyway so I guess having this 410 set to Failover would be okay if Load Balancing eats a lot of resources.
