<div>I am considering in upgrading the server,</div>
<div>the choice is "AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+", or "AMD Athlon 64 3700+" , is either of 'em suitable to run UT3 Demo on ?</div>
<div>Which distribution is recommended to run UT3 on ? Debian (or Debian based like Ubuntu), OpenSuSE or FedoraCore ?</div>
