I just saw this box that is being promoted as a gaming machine at a  
great price and am considering it as a web-server.

In addition to having no information on the CPU as a server lack of  
comfort with 6 cores and memory 8GB of memory that I am having a  
problem with.  I am not a gamer but I have always assumed that a  
gaming machine needs the most aggressive hardware.  I have also seen  
this processor with 12 GB rather than 8 which, in my ignorance sounds  
better.

Any opinions and guidance are appreciated.

Thanks,

ed

I will be running 9.0 on this as I am already doing on one of my web-servers.
