Personal Computers

How can a personal computer or a high-end workstation even be considered a thin-client device? Well, such computers are not necessarily dedicated thin-client/server hardware devices, but they can certainly run thin-client/server software such as the ICA client. You’re probably familiar with these devices. They might include (but are not limited to) the following specifications:

• Intel Pentium CPU (or equivalent)
  
  
• 16 MB of RAM
  
  
• 1-GB hard drive
  
  
• 3.5-inch disk drive
  
  
• CD-ROM drive
  
  
• Sound card
  
  
• Network card
  
  
• Modem
  
  
• Monitor
  
  
• Operating system consisting of Microsoft Windows NT Workstation, Windows 95, Windows 3.x, or MS-DOS
