Time for a new kernel. Dual CPU machines really get MUCH better performance
out of 2.2 based kernels. They are stable and safe.
2.2.x also has a much improved driver for the nic card.
VA Linux systems is now shipping pIII based Linux machines and have not had any
serious complaints. All of their machines ship with 2.2.x.
