No that's fine, I run several machines with maxusers at 512 and
NMBCLUSTERS at 32768 (although the ram is usually at 512 to a 1024),
let me know if you have any problems with those settings though as
I'd like to know if they are set too high for heavy load.
I would also suggest using fxp cards (Intel Ether Express Pro) in
the future, they are definetly my favorite.
