I have 65 terminals on an IBM Xserver and still haven't seen a decline
in performance. Adam Reitsma wrote: Ahh yes, that looks like the problem. I forgot when the server moved, the link changed from a local site being 100 to a 10 Base over fiber. I just tested at the new site where the server is and much better on the 10/100 network. So our 3 fiber uplinks to other buildings will have to be upgraded most likely. At the same time I know the director of technology's vision is to have 4-5 terminals per classroom which will help justify upgrading the backbone hardware to a gigabit solution. Probably looking at implementing around 250 terminals at our Alternative, Middle, and High School District. What's the ratios usually to client per server - 50 terminals per server? Anyway, just some side notes, but thanks for the feedback...

Before getting new hardware, the clients were getting something like 0.5 frames per second in the real graphically intensive TuxMath. Then I upgraded the client's network cards to 100mbit and put in a switch instead of a hub. The new switch also had a gigabit upload to the server. I started to get 5-10 frames per second on TuxMath. I bet I could get higher framerates with better clients but I am stuck with 133 and 166 pentiums (they don't even have MMX!).(All fps numbers are my approximation of the real fps.) In summary, if you are getting less than 5 fps it is most likely your network setup. If you want to get something like 15+ fps. I say get better clients with better video cards.

For basic stuff its fine but load something more graphical such as TuxMath it can take serveral minutes to load. I assume its a coding/development/technology issue because if I remotely connect using VNC, all applications are loading almost instant including more graphical ones such as TuxMath. Are there settings I can change for this performance issue? Is it part of the PXE boot image or server settings itself? Network related? It doesn't seem to be hardware related, I have used a homemade built terminal and a terminal from disklessworkstations.com. The result is still the same... Any help is appreciated...
