Re: RDP performance issues

We have several setups with up to 35 clients (PII, PIII, AMD K6, PXES 0.9)
and one Win2K3 server, P4 3 Ghz), everything works fine. Scrolling and
moving objects with the mouse is not exactly fast, but fine for office
work. The thin clients need do have at least 200-300 Mhz CPU power,
otherwise scrolling becomes really slow indeed. Server hardware is not
really that important unless you have many clients.

I would change a thin clients network card and the switch first, and make
shure that there is no bottleneck in the LAN configuration. Then I would
change the graphics card in one of the thin clients, probably the Xfree86
drivers for the one you have now are weak. Then I would go back to an
"old" PXES version such as 0.6 or 0.9 and try that. If this does not help,
try to connect to an ordinary Desktop PC running XP Professional.

Gunter
