I made it pretty far without a GUI, until I just plain got fed up with a black screen and wanted a change. How much does my performance decrease when running GUI vs non-GUI?

It would be the same as DOS and Windows, except windows is a bit more graphically consuming than linux. But if i had to estimate it, i would say 5-10%? of ram?

Not to bad, have 4gigs of ram for it with dual quad core 2.3ghz I think I should be set for the server.
