More than one 1G nic, more than one unmanaged switch?

I'm not familiar with using more than one NIC. I have two netgear
unmanaged gigabit switches that connect via a single crossover cable. Would
I be better off putting all of my heaviest users (transferring the largest
files all with gigabit nics on their systems) on one switch and putting both
of the server nic connections (where all the traffic is coming and going to)
on a single switch or should I put half on one switch and half on another
switch (heavy users) and put one nic connection from the server on each
swtich? (we don't have funds to replace the switches so that will not be
part of the equation)
Also since I am a newbie can you give me details on anything I would need to
do on the server once I implement whatever solution is better. The only
server connection plugged in right now is one nic at 10.10.10.10. I'm not
sure what I'll need to do with the second nic or any loadbalancing things I
will or won't need to do.
Thanks!
