My two cents worth...
Set up a gigabit Etherchannel ISL trunk between the switches. For the NIC's
use two of the Intel Pro/100's; one homed to each switch. You then
configure the adapters as a "team" in both an adaptive load balancing and
fault tolerance mode. There is fairly decent information on these topics at
www.intel.com.
Make sure that the ports on each switch are in the same VLAN and that the
VLAN is permitted on the trunk.
Hope this helps...
