Hey, Alex,
For a similar setup (except that users are doubled and I'm not using bridge),
I have a PIII/1GHz with two Interl EEpro100 cards. Works fine, at least for now.
The only problem I'm experiencing is with heavy udp traffic, f.e. Counter Strike
and Bnetd (Diablo, DiabloII, {Star|War}Craft) game play. Then the machine is reaching
some really high load averages, like 8 to 10. Have no idea how this
could be avoided.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
