No you should not use more than one gateway.

If you want to direct traffic for a certain network down a specific card then you would use the route add command.
see this article about multiple gateways:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/159168
What are you trying to accomplish, teaming the cards, resilience, or are you wanting the server to be connected to different LANS at the same time. The advise depends on the situation you are in.
if both cards connect to the same network you MUST only have one with a gateway address.

If they are on different networks you can implement gateways on each network but this will confuse the server and would only work if you set up RRAS on the server to let you specify which traffic should go to each card.

To server those two networks you don't need a default gateway in both networks.The default gateway is only used if no known local subnet is addressed e.g. the internet or any other remotenetwork that is routed through on of you cisco routers.
