I'm setting up a colocated server (not yet procured) as a remote X11 environment for 10 business users with broadband Internet access. It will be their primary work computer, offering a full suite of applications. Graphics-wise, they are not playing video games or watching movies but will want to view the occasional YouTube clip. What are the graphics requirements of X11 in a low-video, multi-user environment? What do you recommend for hardware? This is for a 1U enclosure. I would like to do it as cheaply as possible. - Slot type for card upgrade - PCI-X is the most ubiquitous for 1U; would it work? - Minimum on-board RAM - Chipset - GeForce? - Video card - Motherboard - I'm looking at Tyan GX28 (2881) http://www.tyan.com/archive/products/html/gx28b2881_spec.html Thanks.
