[X2Go-User] Speed

[Robert Dinse]

      It might also help if I got a modern computer on the client side.
I'm using a 2005 vintage Mac Pro 1,1, the very first Intel based Mac.  Quad 
Xeon 2.6 Ghz CPU but memory bandwidth is horrid owing to buffered registered 
memory.  THe video card was also antique.  Never the less used to be able to
watch video over x2go and this was actually far past the point where you say
Firefox went to hell.  It was about up to the point where they changed the
plugin interface to be useless.
