Well, they're not entirely new; the machines I'm using are lab machines
that have been replaced and are now recommissioned as my test-bed.
/proc/cpuinfo says they're 'Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz'.

No SSD, either...

They have no issues *saturating* gigabit (as long as the BQL max_limit
is not set too low), but capturing, not so much...
