Dual LAN is good if you are doing internet connection sharing or using your machine as a bridge. Honestly, though, unless you are buying the board to be used as a proxy server or another network application, you only need one LAN port, and you're better off with a Router/Switch. Using your CPU to do the same thing will leech performance.

I thought long and hard about the same thing. It is good for folks who want to plug in DSL and then share it with another machine, but are too lazy or incompetent to get a proper network device.
