Does it handle sound and video well? I am only asking because I support schools with thin client solutions and the sound issue is rearing its head much more now.
Use intermediate clients. Say 256 meg of RAM in a discless machine and
run the application locally in RAM. Takes pressure off the servers and
makes all the local audio etc work. We have these operating in St
Monicas Language College in place of a language lab. Its automatic. If
on log on the client has sufficient RAM and processing power it will use
it locally, if not it runs as a conventional thin client from the
server.
