I'm wondering what (and yes I'm serious) what performance I might get under Ubuntu/Steam with 4 (four) 6-core Xeon processors and 64gb of memory. People forget there are different types of games. While the SteamMachine that I'm pondering would not be good for a FPS...it may completely rock the Universe if it can take full advantage of those cores and memory. This could be interesting. What say you? I like to get the thoughts of the far more experienced before I buy hardware. Even the modest $600 that would have this beast in my possession is a significant investment these days.
