Virtual Machines are NOT gameserver friendly. The clocks inside of VM's drift so much from the OS that you will see choppy behavior on the gameserver, because the wallclock drifts from the actual system clock. I think they might be somewhat usuable once vmware decides to use HPET to service interrupts/time on a server to a vm. But, thats a long way from now. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
