    <$800 Gaming and VMs

    Awesome, getting the faster Intel CPU along with the SSD would be great. My only concerns are the Crucial M4 and the HD6950. How does the M4 compare to the Samsung 830 and will the HD6950 have similar gaming performance to the 570 (I know it is slower than the 7870)? Thanks for your help!

    Bad idea to use old rig as HTPC?

    I run an A8N-SLI deluxe with an AMD 3200, 1GB DDR400, Soundblaster 5.1 and an 8400GS. I've got Ubuntu 10.04 with XBMC on it and it runs flawlessly. Despite the 2GHz single core CPU I can play 1080p h.264 smooth as butter with the 8400GS and VDPAU. Very little work is required to set something...

    Mixing Processors

    I appreciate the link, but those are a bit outside my budget for this toy. I've managed to spend very little money so far because I got the complete server for $20 shipped. Two of those processors would be $46.50 shipped.

    What's a good *nix server software for beginner/intermediate user?

    Well, your options are very open as it sounds like your hardware is nearly universally supported. I highly recommend FreeBSD as a production server OS, however if this is primarily a test machine and your main goal is learning about *NIX operating systems I have another recommendation. Learn it...

    Turn off PSU when computer shuts down

    It's possible that Ubuntu doesn't have complete ACPI support for your system and just halted instead of powering off. I've experienced this problem before with Linux. What hardware are you running?

    Mixing Processors

    Thanks for the response. It looks like this project is going to be more expensive than I anticipated. The only processors I can find that would match my current one are more expensive than what I paid for the entire server. It looks like my best option is to wait until I can find someone...

    Yeah, its not an exploit in the sense of the javelin glitch, or getting in the rock on afghan. Its just unbalanced gameplay that needs to be patched, like the akimbo 1887s.

    I saw a guy doing that on skidrow. He kept running down the same hallway and trying to run up beside my team. I camped the end of the hallway with a barrett and got him 4 times before he changed his route.

    Windows 7 Experience rating?

    A slow Core 2 doesn't beat a fast X2. Also the integrated memory controller in the AMD system is much faster than the memory subsystem in the Core 2 system.
