Can someone remove the /usr/local version then at some point?

That's really quite mild for an athlon. To be empirical we should trial
them during games of Enemy Territory, we'll see how things go.

Interesting. It's the same driver I'm running, but I am not getting
nasty going on. Even though the machine has APIC turned off, we are
nowhere near running out of interrupts.

I guess this is a cute side-effect of not having any disks in there.

It would be nice to get some mrtg style monitoring on the machines.
Perhaps we can look at that later on in the week.
