    Yes. It is good enough to handle some network traffic.

    The figures does not seem bad.

    I am curious: which chipset does the motherboard include ?
    An 'lspci -vx' sums it quite well.

    Please. Do not compile in preempt/ipv6/smp. SMP is supposed to be safe

    only one CPU. I'd welcome a 'vmstat 1' output as it gives the bi/bo.
