I finally tried out Steam Streaming. I gotta say this is great! I am able to play my windows games streamed to my linux box. Some of it was a little choppy due to my connections were wireless and wired. Or I could maybe scale back video detail some.
I was able to stream from Windows to my Chromebook with Ubuntu on it. Torchlight ran fine, but there were some settings I could have adjusted. You can tweak the bandwidth and hardware coding: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-setup-steam-in-home-streaming-and-fix-its-quirks-1579996803
These days I don't really bother re-booting into Windows 7 on my desktop. I just stream games from my laptop that has Windows to my desktop with Linux. It works really well.
Yeah, that is pretty nice: https://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks/X550JX/specifications/ Don't you love how they don't specify the CPU clocking speed? I'm surprised there isn't a BlueRay drive
