Hi,
The stb lightspeed will do just fine. Dependinf on your monitor, you will be able to
go to 1024*768 resolution in 24 (perhaps 32) bit.
The differences between the servers are only the hardware they support. For the
lightspeed it will be the SVGA server. If you have say an ATI All In Wonder Pro, you
would have to use the Mach64 server.

Thanks Pat,
I was wondering what the differences between the servers was, I understood
that they supported different adapters but didn't know if they offered any performance
boost themselves or if that came strictly from the adapter cards. I've go the STB
running at 1024 x 768 at 24bit and it seems fine for now. I'll have to play a while
and see if I like the performance or if I need a better card.
