Thanks for that. Are there any non-kernel tips people can give to look at? Because if I hear the loads of other people somehow ours are much higher, regardless of the kernels used.

Any old network card should do. Not that the quality of the driver doesn't affect udp traffic. Some drivers can have trouble with large amounts of small udp traffic, or large udp traffic. The game server traffic here is quite modest though. I don't think anything networking related would be involved with the CPU problems (I'm a Cisco/Juniper network engineer and do high-bandwidth supercomputing stuff) Andrew Armitage wrote: > Maybe the issue is the network hardware?
