Onboard graphics these days can certainly push 3-4 monitors, but you ain’t gonna be playing any games on it. At least nothing demanding. Could probably play stuff from the early 2000’s and before. Which, I mean, who needs anything else? Halo CE, my beloved…
Some stuff calls it bonded, sometimes it’s teamed, sometimes LAGed or aggregated or bundled or link channelled or ethertrunked or smartgrouped or Multi-link trunked etc. etc.
Bonded ethernet ports are for redundancy and concurrency, which is not quite additional bandwidth. (Just calling that out to help squash any misconceptions of how bonding works. It is technically more bandwidth, but you won’t see total throughput of the two links unless you are transferring multiple files.)
4 display outputs for onboard graphics? Why lol. I’ll take the dual ethernet ports.
Make that four. And ten gig, please.
QSFP28 PLS
Quad monitor+tv or 3 monitors and a vr set.
Whats the point if 2 ethernet ports?
Ain’t no integrated graphics pushing all that shit. But at this point, it’s the only thing available. 😂

That would be fine for office work, not so much for games.
Separate network for NAS or local services. Or
bridgedbonded for more bandwidthBonded is more bandwidth. Bridged is just letting traffic flow between them.
Why does this have so many names?

Thanks, that is what I meant

The bonding I guess is fair game… But a bit odd if you only have a 2.5g and 1g ports… You would probably want those symmetrical.
But separate networks? Have you considered VLANs?
Once you’ve bonded what do you use that speed for? There’s no way my hard drive can handle 3.5G write speed.
Network speeds are GBit, not GByte. A single HDD already saturates a 2.5G port
See raid0 (but be safe and do raid 1+0). Also maybe it’s a server, so read speed is more important (usually).
Also for bridging
How are you envisioning running a VR headset off of integrated graphics?
Double the websites, duh
