I would like to match this font. Does anyone recognize its name or can someone tell me how to duplicate it?

Thanks for the information. It is apparently the Triplex Font fom phpbb.com and others.
Since I do not want to purchase the font for only one application, how might I modify an existing font to look similar, i.e, achieve the color and the white outline

Well what i recommend, is getting the text in a similar looking font, and then rasterize the layer with the text on, then when the text is rasterized, ctrl + click the layer with the rasterized text on (which will select the text) and then apply a gradient of blue - lighter blue, and then deselect the text (ctrl + d) and right click the layer and go to blending options, when in blending options, first go to stroke and then select white and 2 px, then go to bevel and emboss, and select stroke emboss, and play around with that until it looks good, and then finally apply a drop shadow, hope that helped!

Thank you Jersey Hacker. I used Arial rounded MT at 36 pt. and followed your suggestion. The result was completely satisfactory.

Isn't there a gradient overlay in the layer styles, which would have been a bit easier and quicker? Not to mention that then you can copy the layer style and copy it onto all the text you want to look like that.
