Use MRTG or rrdtool to graph the load average / players / bandwidth against each other then you should be able to work out which to upgrade. Why waste money on upgrading one thing that *could* be a problem, when you aren't sure if that is the thing that is? Google will teach you where to find the things, and qstat will enable you to graph player numbers with mrtg. john PS.
