"200Base-T": 2 NICs faster than 1?

The question is not "why not", it is why.

You answered it yourself, but you haven't thought it through yet.

Take a gander at the speed of your system, the drives, the memory, the
processor et cetera. Now, think about where the data that you
transfer over a LAN comes from, and then look at the speeds you wrote
down. Now, since a 10bt lan is faster than everything in your system
anyhow, why improve it? If you have a high speed Internet connection,
then using 100bt is worthwhile.

On a 2 computer network, 100bt is no faster than 10bt at transferring
large files or groups of files, as the disk can not produce enough
data to overcome the speed limit of either card.

Hi

This is wrong. Unless you have a very ancient computer, disk I/O can easily
overcome the the speed limit of a 10bt lan card...
