Im not too worried about a crash, just bandwidth going nuts for more than 20 minutes if I get a link to some chinese free site or something. Had some galleries get nailed a lot over the last year. Server does fine with 40mbps sustained for 45 minutes. Sites dont slow down or anything, but of course not good for the ole bandwidth bill. Had some shared pws too that I didnt catch in time. This is mainly like if my bandwidth spikes over 15mbps so I can take a look and see whats going on. Box hasnt crashed in a good 7 months since it got upgraded and moved to a new DC.
