Although granted while there's a lot of games on Steam that now run on linux, there's a LOT more that still won't. (And in some cases never will due to companies being unwilling or unable to go back and port older games they've made.)
I'm still thinking I'll test out a linux-usb installer on the other computer later tonight or tomorrow - boot directly into linux from there and see how well the comp handles it. Maybe see if I can test the ram to verify they're still good as well, given all the freezes that computer has been having lately in the few times I've turned it on.
