include the beast motherboard supporting 2 or more cpus with intel c602/606/608 chipsets.

IDK I read somewhere Intel Xeon doesn't support gaming, like some driver issue or something. I may be wrong.

I hv a xeon workstation at work, you can game on it..
its got the 4 cores, 8 threads thing..cpu always idling, useless..
you can't 3d game on a xeon server!

the workstation is dumb as sh1t... coz its got only 8gb ram, bottle necked all the time.. I upped it to 12gb and moved most of the local services to cloud.. seems smooth now..
also has some ati fire pro or some sh1t like that ..

its nothing to do with processor, servers have no display, gpu ;)

i think you can install x11 and stream games.. but that's just lame, not sure if possible..

Higher end Ati Firepro cards are capable GPUs. :/
