Sam, When comparing standard desktop PCs to PC workstations, graphics controllers are only one among several differentiators. Workstation builders will often integrate high-end chipsets and memory, HDDs, power supplies, and even more robust chassis fans or gimmicky cooling apparatus in order to provide...

Re: Thin Client objections?, and Mr. Robinson's opinions Is there really any question of user preference here, “..broad dynamic bandwidth range from 100s of Kbps to 100s of Mbps…” versus 5Gbps, 10Gbps, or 20Gbps connection speeds? Gee whiz, I wonder which throughput choice most...

It's been almost a year since Microsoft bought Calista Technologies , a non-shipping set of technologies that leverages host and client-based GPUs for 3D and multimedia remoting. Since the acquisition, Microsoft has been mum about the technology. Nevertheless, we've still learned a few things...

InternetWeek reported a few weeks ago that new firmware for Sun Ray clients is available , and that one of the key new features is multimedia redirection. This is funny because I thought the whole point of Sun Rays was they were so thin? Check out this quote: The Sun Ray line is a truly "thin"...
