I personally would modify Tom's response and say that 10bT NICs are fine
for 386/486 class computers because you'll never run the high color and
high bandwidth applications that would overwhelm the port on a faster PC.
Since you're now needing to protect that 10bT bandwidth and not waste any,

Hi Peter,
According to my experience a 386, when used as a terminal, has the
following problematic areas:
1) It only has slow ISA slots and AFAIK 100 Mb ISA NICs are hard to
find. If you're
Some of my terminals are equiped with an S3 Trio64 card, some have a
Trident 8900/9000 and still others contain a Matrox Millennium G200.
The specific brand and type don't really matter as long as the card is
of the PCI type, can carry enough video RAM and is well supported by
XFree86.

I got a dozen 200 Mhz compaq computers with a sys
chipset and exactly those 2 PIC ports, one has the
famouse Realtek 8139 NIC, what is your choice of video
card? I might get it for my new terminals 8)

Hi Jan,
My bottom line is drawn at a 486DX2, 66MHz, 16 Mb RAM and at least two
PCI slots. One for a 100 Mbit NIC connected to a switch, the other for
a decent graphics card with at least 2 Mb video RAM. In my experience
many companies, which replace their PCs every two years, gladly give
most of t
Hi Peter,
According to my experience a 386, when used as a terminal, has the
following problematic areas:
1) It only has slow ISA slots and AFAIK 100 Mb ISA NICs are hard to
find. If you're using hubs then try replacing them with switches.
2) Usually its graphics card contains 512 Kb of slow RAM
I agree that a P90/32MB is significantly faster than a 386-40/8MB.
Once it boots, is it usable? Typically, people won't shut the computer
off once it is up and running.
