Hello,

I recently bought a new machine for my game services. The machine looks 
like these:


2U System with 6x HotSwap bays, 510W EPS Powersupply, Lowprofile
Intel Xeon L5420, 4 Core at 2,50 Ghz, 2x 6MB L2 Cache, FSB1333
Tyan Tempest i5100W Mainboard, S5376, 2x GB Lan, VGA
12 GB DDR2 PC667 DDR2-Ram registered ECC, Kingston
Western Digital 500GB SATA2 HDD RE3 24/7, 16MB Cache, 7200RPM

I am running on it about 250 game server slots. The load looks like that:

top - 20:58:44 up  6:40,  1 user,  load average: 3.26, 2.94, 2.76
Tasks: 191 total,   1 running, 190 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 25.0%us,  3.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 70.7%id,  0.2%wa,  0.1%hi,  0.4%si,  
0.0%st
Mem:  12411140k total,  6100728k used,  6310412k free,   103408k buffers
Swap:  1951856k total,        0k used,  1951856k free,  3010076k cached


You think is these overloaded machine? I am pretty worried about load 
average witch is about 3.0. Is these to much?
