VideoRAM plays very little part in this process.
Some things, though:
1) Make sure both computers are set to the same resolution and same color
depth (both must be on 24-bit, otherwise both computers will drop down to
256-colors for NetMeeting's purposes).
2) Make sure you both use the same version of NetMeeting (latest is far
better).
3) The biggest bottleneck is bandwidth. DSL or Cable or T1 is far far better
than a 56k modem.
Great improvements are coming, I would expect. In fact, if you use Windows
2000 you'll see that Terminal Services (a feature similar to NetMeeting's
application sharing) is far better and faster.

Subject: [NetMeeting] Video RAM importance using NetMeeting Remote
Desktop Sharing
I use NetMeeting to tap into my home computer from a laptop using the remote
desktop sharing option.
Does anybody know how important video RAM on the laptop is for doing this?
I am considering two different laptops, one with 2.5 MB video RAM and the
other with 6MB SGRAM (Sony Vaio superslims).
With a current test laptop (8MB video RAM), the redisplay of the windows
"cloud" background loses color. However, general applications seem to look
fine. I'm also wondering if video RAM will effect the speed of the
redisplay, or if it is purely limited by the modem connect speed anyhow?
Thanks for any input.
- Jeff
