Holy Hardware Batman!!! 75 concurrent firefox w/ flash and sound!!

you've got all 6 NICS bonded together as a single interface? giving you 
roughly a FULL 5 GB of throughput right?

processor you say was highest you got to was 25%? and only 6 GB of RAM 
used? so basically you hit 50% of 1 of your quad-cores...that's just wow!

what happens if they all run TuxMath? does the video refresh begin to 
clog/bog down on the clients? with a single 1GB NIC I can only get 'bout 
5 or 6 concurrent TuxMath or TuxType clients before bog-down occurs. 
with 5 others doing TuxPaint...although they can ALL do anything 
non-video-esque and everything runs slick as snot.
