I've experimented with this before, with two PCs connected to the same switch (I forget the make, it was a cheapo model), both with the same MAC address. The two PCs could still browse a remove website, but at a much reduced speed. It felt like going through a slow modem. I had the feeling that packets coming back from the web server were being randomly sent to either PC. Depending on the infrastructure, both you and the spoofee may still get service, but it might be pretty slow.
