Coupled with 64-bit platforms so you can get 2GB RAM (or more) for more than 2 users on a server, that could really be something. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Rick Mack Sent: Tue 10/24/2006 7:34 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [THIN] Re: Solidworks Hi, From the sounds of the message at iforum, Citrix have developed a new 3-d acceleration product called pictor that really hurries opengl along. The 3d performance they demonstrated was quite impressive. I believe it will be included in PS 4.5 (ohio). regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Landin, Mark Sent: Wed 25/10/2006 2:13 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Solidworks OK, then the answer is ... your users will hate it. Their screen refreshes will be abominally slow and their frustration levels skyrocket. (This will be true of any application relying on hardware graphics acceleration, not just SolidWorks...) Right now Citrix doesn't have a good answer for hardware graphics acceleration on their platform, although I understand that's one area to be addressed in future version of Presentation Server. Just not yet. _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Medeiros, Jim Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 10:54 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Solidworks This is one of my concerns.
