I was going to run the Servers on the host operating system, alongside the VMs. I just have some stuff I want to run that is not that cpu intensive, but still manages to use the disk, and network enough that it locks up the computer. I want to put those in VMs, the game servers being in VM's would just be a nice bonus if it works. Was your comment directed at my game servers that are not running in the VM?
