While a fast video card does help, it only helps when its GPU is used. 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.

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.

Thanks

George
