This may sound crazy or might even be impossible, but I
have the Asus A7N8X Deluxe board with two on board NIC
cards and i was wondering is there a tweak with windows
that I can use to make Windows send data to the internet
with one of the NIC's and recieve data with the other.

Thanks
Joe

Nope.
 
It IS possible to "bond" two NICs together, but usually only "server" NICs
support this functionality. Most consumer level products don't, so you are
likely out of luck.

Don't feel bad though, even if the Asus on-board NICs DID support it, unless
you are paying much more than the cost of your computer for internet access
every month, then it isn't worthwhile anyway. The speed of a cable modem or
DSL connection is nothing compared to the speed of a 100mbit ethernet NIC.
In fact, the speed on the ethernet connection on every broadband modem I've
ever seen is only 10mbit . . .and even that is enough to handle the peak
bandwidth of most broadband connections.
