Does the video card play any role in RDP/Citrix sessions?
Posted by doug.masters@gmail.com on September 8th, 2006


I'm inclined to say "not really" but that's based on nothing, just a
hunch.

To make a long story shorter.... We're looking at buying a very well
equipped Dell 9-series server to run 7 virtual XP Pro systems via MS
Virtual Server (don't ask why, just accept it :-) ). Server & Virtual
Server will be the 64-bit edition, the XP's guests will be 32-bit and
the users will access the XP guests via RDC. The XP boxes will be
running a few minor in-house developed apps, nothing exciting or
demanding really eacept.....they will also be running AutoCAD 2006 on
occasion.

The boss is concerned that the lack of video power on the server will
cause issues with the XP systems, but I say that it all looks like host
processor use since the XP systems aren't real.

Anyone able to shed any light on this?
