Setting up a server was an idea I had all along but I didn't want the headaches of running a domain for 2 or 3 computers.  I will look into the home server and most likely will set one up at least for testing or evaluation.  Thanks for the idea sully.

I think you may have to push it up to 5,0ghz at least.  But you could get away with 4 and just OC your GPU and Shader clocks!

I dont' think I can OC the GPU as it is a onboard video system.

Wow, all these ideas make me wonder if I should do the same with a couple of the random computers I've pack-ratted away...

After thinking about it I think I am going to do a multimedia system with it.  Gonna install WinXP Media center edition and go from there.  The main reason being I hate dragging my old gaming system out from behind the TV when I go somewhere just for the files.  Yes I know I need a bigger hard drive in my main system but until I do that this situation will work.

This was awhile back, I don't remember what the thread was discussing. Maybe it was something about certain operating systems. If memory serves me, he said it was a waste; but that was years ago and it is all a blur to me now.
