OK, can you decode what this means exactly?  I’d be happy to write something up to reference users to, but I don’t really know what it means.  It is a a quad-core 2.8GHz running CentOS 5.3 64-bit.  It looks like it calculated 150, but is that good, bad, indifferent?  I’ve tried to google it, but without really knowing what it is I am looking for, I am not getting good results.
