Would I gain any advantages by running XBOX Live vs. XBOX for Windows if I have a machine that I can dedicate 100% use? Would the lag reduce? Would I lose the functionality of e-SATA?

I hope you mean XBMC?

And S-ATA should work out of the box as long as you don't have a G45 Motherboard, they will be supported in our next release, 8.10.
There is however talk about an unstable version that will work with G45
S-ATA works on all my current computer.
All in all, try it out, it only costs you a CD and it won't touch your computer at all if you don't choose Install.
Cheers, Tobias

I don't know much about how suspend/resume works in Linux, as I have only desktops that I leave on all the time. However, I would prefer that my XBMC box not be running all the time.
Would LAN activity wake it? Could a mouse or keyboard event be mapped to the remote?
