You won't notice a difference.
The two network cards would be used for linking 2 networks together and getting the box to act as a router between them.

You might want to investigate adapter teaming. This allows you to team the adapters as one virual device. This can double your bandwidth. I have intel cards in my servers and the teaming software comes with them.
If you are connected to a hub there is no point in adapter teaming. Do a search at MS's web site Knowledge Base on server routing and ICS. Articles there will tell you how to setup routing.
