Rather suggested that you thought, that you needed to run a desktop locally.
The X server DOES run locally. That and every bitmap caching part of the server, and any other features that run on the local machine. Having a 64/128MB graphics card - as I previously stated - requires swap space to mmap the memory to get X running in the first place. There's usually not that much memory left if you're running over NFS. Apps like Firefox and so on require far too much memory - OpenOffice is another culprit. Basically anything you wanted to run "on the server" actually just leaves it's processing requirements on the server, but passes everything to do with the display - including heavy memory use and caching - back to the thin client.

Also just an example. LTSP is one place we would have liked to push these boards but the system requirements were still way too high simply because of the architecture of LTSP.
The recommendations you've found would imply otherwise.
