Thsi might be hard if I understand the goal and technology right - AGP 4X has a 1056MB/Sec bandwidth capability - Fast Ethernet has a 12.5 MB/Sec bandwidth - In a TC model the server is catching all the graphics card calls and sending the messages over the network to the clients - whcih then re-create the graphics locally. But the FE pipe is only about 1% of the AGP4x pipe - So the performance will, if it works at all, be possibly much less than desired (or at least less than used to for 3D gaming in a high end machine).
