I have used tight vnc before with a 486 acting as the server, and even that
barely put much of a load on it. Also, VNC should be smart enough only to 
update the parts of the screen that are changing. So if you have a window
with graphs, just minimize it..  and VNC won't have to worry about redrawing
it.
