Alex, Thanks that worked- You are correct it is a CPU and Network hog... One issue that I was trying to resolve (that we've successfully accomplished on the UNIX side) is place an objective metric on VNC performance... We can basically state that "...given x latency, you should get y performance out of either Citrix or VNC" Again, that was in the UNIX world.
This was based on a white paper by Nieh, Yang and Novik: http://www.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/publications/tocs2001_slowmotion.pdf Has anyone come up with a similar method for Windows?

If you use personal/enterprise edition of vnc with mirror driver you will get video. IMHO, is it a bad idea, as it takes a lot of cpu/bandwidth. You will be better off using something like vlc to stream video over the network.
