Two Nics?

I am testing out a nic on a computer at work. Is it possible to have two nics in the same computer (short term.) I don't really want to unistall the hardware and software in the one that is working, but want to test the nic. How do I get Win98SE to decide which card is the active one? Thx.

I use 2 in my Dell at work. One is for the company LAN, the other is used to connect a simulator. Both NICs are active at the same time.
