Hello,

I have a windows XP machine running as a home server. I configure it remotely from a high end computer running windows 7. Recently I recieved a new monitor and would like to run it and two others on my windows 7 machine, however my graphics card only has two ports. Would I be able remove the card from my XP machine and put it into my windows 7 machine and continue to run it remotely, or does RDP require a graphics card?

Thank you,
Blaine Lewis

If you mean add-on graphics card (replacing onboard video) then no. RDP is fully driven by a virtualized session that can send you TCP packets that include video simulation data.

You might have a difficult time booting a machine with no graphics card, though.
