It is what I can call revolutionary tech of Arfica. NComputing consumes less than 5 Watts per Terminal. What else does Africa need? Ask me any querries on NComputing on 0722681971.

It is plug and play largerly although you need to install some software on the host computer. I'm running WXP SP2. Power consumption does seem to have changed at all.

How's the power consumption? And which OS? *big grin*

…sounds like a plug & play system to me!

How’s the power consumption? And which OS?

I have just installed Ncomputing at our office. We are using the higher ranger L200 rather than the X300. We have one computer currently powering 3 workstations but will expand it as we need. Each of the L200s costs KSH 15,000.00 inc VAT. We are using a normal Dell, 512mb, 3ghz, 120 HD that go for around KSH 40,000.00. The advantage of this system is that there is no limit to how far the workstations are from the host computer. So long as they are networked it is fine as the L200 has an Ethernet port. So we have one switch with each L200 connected to a port on that switch. (The host computer plugs into the switch directly without having to go through a L200). I will show the set up next time uko town! So far the only issue I have noticed is that the graphics on the other computers are not as good. Otherwise so far so good. Sasa you guy.
