Hi,
I'm looking for a motherboard solution that has, as the title suggests, the ability to connect six Ethernet cables at once. I've tried using daughterboards for the additional Ethernet ports, but this solution is too expensive for me, and only takes mobile cpus, which is less than ideal.
Anything that can point me in the right direction would be great, thanks!
 
I think the most I've ever seen on a motherboard is two.
Perhaps if we knew what you were trying to accomplish, we could offer a better solution; it sounds like a managed switch or router may be the proper tool for the job; of course they aren't cheap either.
