oh, and the video card is the only thing I need to upgrade right now, it is a firegl v3100

vnc is slow the only advantage is the drivers thing but if you do server admin RDP is way better faster less bandwith consuming.

yeah nice card but yeah you need upgrade try pinnacle expensive but you will love it and probably will extend the life of your pc by 5 to 8 years unless some new proc and video crunching application comes up. but for the rest of us mortals that should be cool

hm..I haven't had any slowness with VNC at all, but then again I ONLY use it to vnc across a local network

in fact, it is quite speedy and suits my needs just fine

Is RDP the windows version of vnc? if so I tried that and hated it, it was super buggy when I tried it

ermmn its the other way around but yeah thats it...

what was buggy about it? i mean it is only remote desktop nothing else new windows xp version you can share harddrives on connection so no need for a different client to upload.

but again i only manage servers no aps like you so there is a difference. and yes its because you are in LAN but it gets slow over a couple of thousands of miles of fiber

well to manage the box you need pro but to log on to a box with RDP you can download the client.

Careful about telling people you have VNC loaded.

I hear there might be hackers here.
