Do I require PCIE bifurcation? (alien.top)
 

I have not received all my parts from ebay yet or I would test this directly. I've got a 4 port broadcom nic on the way and it occurs to me I might need a motherboard that supports bifurcation. It's specifically

LENOVO 90Y9355 Broadcom Quad-Port 1GbE PCIe Network Card BCM95719A1904G High

Anyone know offhand if I just bought a card I can't use? It's going in a system I know doesn't support bifurcation but I can't find anything one way or the other about this card.

I don't have too much critical data to backup. I have a low power thin client (lenovo m720q with a 2tb sata drive) I park at a friends house on their network. In exchange I let them borrow a bit of space on it too.
