Load balance multiple network adapters in Windows XP

I recently verified that the onboard network adaptor, in my primary machine, sucks. It seems that there is some sort of a hardware problem with it, and as a result it ends up capping my upload speed at around 10kB/s. It got to be very annoying when I had some active torrents. So... I decided to drop $10 and get a standalone network card. But a moral issue arose within me because I didn't want to just give up the builtin network card. So, I chose to implement load balancing in XP, which happens to be very easy to do... After I did this, I'm averaging 80-90kB/s upload speeds now... happy happy ratios

Just make this registry change, if you have multiple network adapters:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters]
Value Name: RandomAdapter
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
