On that note...I have a dual core, dual cpu Opteron 1U sitting next to me (Tyan GX28 B2881) shipping next week to Equinix in Chicago for game hosting. OS = Win2k3 Enterprise Server x64. I'll be happy to post results once it's in colo. As for compatability so far...flawless. Little game I had to play with installing the HLDSupdatetool (try it on 64bit and you'll see). Makes a lot of noise with 9 x 15K/rpm fans but runs like a champ. Will most likely report in a separate thread when the time comes. Should be in full service by mid-month.

But just a Preference. As for operating Systems, Lynux, Unix, AIX, Windows. Each have thier benefits But host Game on Win X64... Just hate having the Guns and no ammo to drive the 64 Bit Processor. Again just Preference. On the Web Server outside hosted and it is Lynux.
