I found that using windows server 2003 it works a hell of a lot better. The
processor values were better than ubuntu. Just what I found. I typically
idle with full lab about 4 to 5 percent with no configs 17 percent fully
loaded( IE and Narbiks). This is on a quad core(6600) machine with 4 gigs of
ram. It uses about 2.5 gigs of ram though lol.
