We advise against running a SRCDS on a VM because people report to have had clocking issuing with the Virtual CPU.

ouch. well we sell dedicated physical servers, and dedicated virtual servers. reason i would call an esx server dedicated is because it dedicates ram and cpu etc.... anyhow i'm ognna jsut use a dedicated physical box to test out game servers on.
