A thin client isn't going to even be running the program. The problem here would just be the connection from server->client. Otherwise though, X is just displaying gfx that have already been rendered on the server. So don't waste more than $40 at most on a simple, PCI video card. Fry's has had some down to $20. Just make sure the card is supported by X. --=20 Bryce C CoBryce Communications --=-Be0Z2GwRnBO2RvEDvbMH Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: Forwarded message - Video Card Recommendations Requested (75MHx Pentium Thin Client) Content-Type: message/rfc822 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mail.bryceconet.plug@localhost.cobryce.com Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by cobryce.myvnc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1455A9D71B for ; Fri, 18 Jul 2003 08:21:35 -0700 (MST) Envelope-to: plug@bryceco.net Delivery-date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 11:15:59 -0400 Received: from 66.103.137.65 by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-5.9.7) for mail.bryceconet.plug@localhost (single-drop); Fri, 18 Jul 2003 08:21:35 -0700 (MST) Received: from wsip-68-14-243-59.ph.ph.cox.net ([68.14.243.59] helo=pluglist.macrosift.com) by sh2.1-sh.com with esmtp (Exim 3.36 #1) id 19dWxj-0000gr-00 for plug@bryceco.net; Fri, 18 Jul 2003 11:15:59 -0400 Received: from lists.plug.phoenix.az.us (plug [127.0.0.1]) by pluglist.macrosift.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 830651A7557; Fri, 18 Jul 2003 08:25:06 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Received: from exchange01.computer-guidance.com (mail.computer-guidance.com [12.47.167.100]) by pluglist.macrosift.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5ABA61A7556 for ; Fri, 18 Jul 2003 08:24:13 -0700 (MST) Received: by EXCHANGE01 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) id <3Z26V6YY>; Fri, 18 Jul 2003 08:24:36 -0700 Message-ID: <90622F8B43D3D311B151000629CEEAA102E40C4D@EXCHANGE01> From: George Gambill To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Video Card Recommendations Requested (75MHx Pentium Thin Client) MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Errors-To: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us X-BeenThere: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Main PLUG discussion list. List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 08:24:35 -0700 Status: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I am in the process of setting up a 75MHz Pentium (24 meg ram) as a LTSP thin client. I have been lead to believe that a fast Video card is very (i= f not most) important to the performance of such a box. It is a test to see if the 75 will perform well. I am seeking recommendations for a Linux friendly Video with reasonably goo= d performance without breaking the bank. Good band for the buck so to speak.
