to disable the onboard nic..you need to enter bios (either by pressing f2 or del during the boot up process) and look for something that says onboard network support or onboard ethernet or integrated something or another...and disable that...once you do...windows will detect the other card and install it.

you can't have an onboard NIC (The one on the motherboard) and a pci nic at the same time...just won't work...
Yes you can, some high end motherboards come with two NIC ports on them. Though quite why anybody needs more than one NIC port is another kettle of fish.
After all, a Wireless Network card is technically a NIC port, and it works quite well regardless of the state of the onboard/PCI ones.
I can't comment on whether the Xbox supports networking in this way though, it may well be that it doesn't.

an ethernet port...and an ethernet card are two different animals....just because it has two ports to plug a cable in...doesn't mean its a different card....you can have a nic with two ports...you can also h ave two PCI ethernet cards in a machine...(cherrabum...if you have a usb NIC card...then yes....but if you DON"T already own this...it will be cheaper to by a hub....)...or an ethernet card and a wireless card...because wireless is not the same as ethernet...adn a wireless card IS not the same thing as a NIC card.....wireless is a completely different protocol..which is why you can have onboard NIC and a wireless connectionYes you can, some high end motherboards come with two NIC ports on them.
