no, you cant.

apart from that, the limiting factor is your internet speed. if you have stuipidly fast internet and its still slow, then the limiting factor is your router/modem. if its not that slowing you down, its your ethernet card. so having 2 cards wont benefit you in anyway unless your internet speed + router is faster than your NIC

well you gotta remember there is at least 250+ people at the same time through out the day, and i got two seperate jacks in my room, and i was thinking about buying a computer that had two eathernet ports in it just so i can do some extra stuff on my computer

Umm.... no in a general sense. This question has been asked so many times...

Load balancing... When one port is far to busy, then the other takes up the slack, that is if it has a totaly different way out, besides, there is no point, because chances are, your going to a single switch or router with those two ports, and if they are worked to that point, then the second port will be of no use to you...
