[K12OSN] Client RAM question

[Calvin Park, ACDS]

Yes, I did check the network connection, both are running at 100Mbps. The
have the same processors in them and everything. Like I said, it's not a
huge issue. Because even the slower ones brings up apps in decent time. I
was just curious if RAM in the client would affect things at all.

No, it shouldn't.  None of the apps are actually running on the client
at all; they're all running on the server and merely are displayed on
the client.  The only "large" app running on the client is the X11
server itself, and that fits nicely into 32MB.  Most of my clients have
32MB DRAM, and they run just as fast as if they have 48MB or 64MB.
Matter of fact, I've actually pulled DRAM out of a client so that it'll
boot faster (less DRAM to go through during POST).

One thing that definitely will affect speed is whether or not your
client's network connection is running at 100Mbps, full duplex.  I'd
check that out.
