dammit..
why then my users eats so much CPU?
look:
CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.8% system, 38.0% interrupt, 61.2% idle
Mem: 21M Active, 177M Inact, 133M Wired, 1228K Cache, 199M Buf, 1677M Free
I have only 61% idle ?
usualy i have ~50 idle..
now I have P4 2.4GHZ
maybe my setup is bad (kernel I mean)?

I'm using Intel cards (fxp) at the moment. But from reading the posts
I've decided to buy GBIT NIC.
Now the dilema is what brand name.. INTEL or 3COM ? maybe you guys
could advice?
I've always had good results with fxp cards.
And yes, my PC is dealing with lots of network traffic.. It's a
gateway + shaping. It deals with almost 1000 users..
Will this PC (p4 2.4GHZ) deal with 10mbit internet? as a gateway +
shaper ? with one GBIT NIC connected to 100Mbit swith?
A gbit NIC isn't going to run at gbit speed on a 100mbit switch.
I would look elsewhere than the NIC. Intel NICs are good units (in my experience,
if someone knows of problems with them, please speak up)
Read the polling man page and see if it will help you.
