Rob, I believe that PS4 adds significant gains in general browser image acceleration and in Flash support over XP. I can't speak to the bandwidth differences using Flash9/Flex, this seems like an issue that Adobe would need to address. Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

We are currently making development changes to our internal application that runs on Citrix through a browser (IE is what we publish) and they are coding much of it with Adobe Flex, which uses Flash 9 on the server side. During the bandwidth testing we just completed, there was a 512% increase in bandwidth utilization between the original non-flash version of the app and the updated Flash 9/Adobe Flex version of the app. Our server side is MF XPe 1.0 FR3/SP4 on Server 2003 (no SP1). The client side terminals are Wyse 3350, 3360, 3125 and S30 terminals, so we have CE 2.12 to CE.Net and ICA 6.20 through 9.04. My questions are as follows: 1. Are there any tweaks or tunes that will help Flash run better in our current environment? 2. Are the changes between XP 1.0 and PS 4.0 from a Flash perspective enough to benefit users and reduce bandwidth? Note that we would likely have to fork over about $1.5 mill to update our environment as we passed on the SA and we would also have to upgrade about half of our terminals in order to get 9.x ICA client support. Any comments, ideas, suggestions, or alternatives would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! rob
