Re: [Thinstation-general] Thinstation and HP thin clients

[paratwa <par...@ya...>]

I'm also using HP thin clients.  What kind of video streaming are you doing? 
I've found that Windows TS (RDP) streaming performance is more determined by
the latency/bandwidth of your connection rather than the thin client
hardware itself.  I have local thin clients attaching to a Windows TS that
can stream video fine, but the same hardware at the other end of a WAN link
with even a 2ms-10ms latency can slow a streaming video (flash video) to an
unusable slideshow.

If you're not using Windows TS but rather Firefox with Flash locally loaded,
the CPU in the thin client is the bottleneck.  The t5145 only has a 500Mhz
CPU and it was just too slow for my Flash video needs.  The t5545 has a 1GHz
CPU and performs much better, but its not perfect (windowed runs full speed,
fullscreen is a bit chunky). It was enough for my needs though with simple
youtube videos.
