FWIW, I just re-installed UT(2003) and UT2004 on my Vista Ultimate 64.

They go pretty good ;-). Have to turn off the HUD bounce (view bob?) 
because the whole image just shudders when you run :-D

My ultimate plan:
At auction, I bought 2 HP Proliant DL560 2U rack servers (4 x 2.5G HT 
XEONs + 4G RAM in each) installed with VMWare ESXi (free hypervisor). I 
plan to run maybe 4 - 6 dedicated server VMs on each (UT plus some other 
non-UT dedicated servers - any recommendations?).

Cheers,
Chris.
