I think that is a great idea!
I was running 10.0 and had about decided my motherboard was bad because
my USB performance was slower than USB1.1.
Taking a chance I upgraded to 10.1 and all the problems went away!
I have been very happy with 10.1. It is as solid as 9.3, my previous favorite.
YMMV.

You might want to keep Alvin's DNS suggestion in mind.
I decided not to have my Linksys router do DNS for me.
My machine is a workstation, not a server. It might make a difference.
I wanted the DNS IPs behind the Firewall and supplied by the ISP. I
felt the Linksys was more easily hacked.
I wish I knew the answers to these questions.
