« on: October 02, 2011, 09:53:13 AM »
Has anyone used a seerver MB and processor as a gaming computer? Afriend of mine says he has a server setup he is using for his game rig and i was just wondering if it is true you can do that.

sure it can. sacrifice a bit on the graphics slot performance (pci-e x4 or 8 instead of pci-e x16) but depending on the mobo and cpu everything else would be equal to or better than a standard desktop.
