Its good news that you are using the same type of hardware.
the ones i have are VIA 1.0GHZ c7 chipset with unichrome pro graphics and 1gb ram. I use the via drivers, but even then the Gnome desktop is *slow*, dragging a window from one place to another leaves GUI trails. I enabled reduced_resources from gconf-editor which helped a bit so the contents of windows donot show when its dragged. However, if i scroll a web page (all apps are running natively for my case) there is clear issue on rendering of the contents withing the page (images and iframes), where it gets fuzzy when you scroll. I have even tried downloading the openchrome via drivers from Martin's issue-reply, installed it but didnt see a difference. the artifacts i explained above (the scrolling artifact) is still there.... in bios, i checked the vga ram set to max 256mb and i have 1gb of RAM installed on each thinclients. So literally, it shouldnt suck that bad in the gnome desktop - one would assume. if i put in a 2.5" disk drive with windows XP Home edition installed, it runs quite smooth. Which makes me think there is clearly something I am mising here to make OTC OS run smoothly on the same hardware. The hardware specs of the thinclients can be seen from gigabyte ST/A product specs. page. Do you have any inputs or pointers here? all the best!
