Will 2 pico2k/UCC4/Conexant fusion 878A 4 channel cards work

As the title states, i have two of these four channel cards. If i add both of them to my Linux server will Zone Minder utilise both of them to give 8 possible channels of video?

Or would i be better spending a few hundred on an 8 channel card? Its just for home monitoring.

Thanks for your time

I have 2 Hauppauge ImpactVCB installed on my box, If I use only 2 ports it will give me 5.1 fps, but only using 3 ports, it gives me 3.4 fps, if I use all 4, then it will give me 2.x fps, and that sucks... guess it would be better to spend some money on a better card...

Thanks for your help! i may investigate some 8ch cards with a good frame rate, after i test this card to try the zone minder software.
