     Your limitation is your 12Mb line .... any decent hardware can
handle that with no problem at all. ANY 100Mbit NIC, even onboard and
cheapers/generics one, can handle 12Mbit with no problem at all.

     i really dont think adding another NIC will improve your
performance, given your 12Mbit WAN limitation.
