I need a remote desktop thats fast...

[Mushrooshi]

Hi, Um.

I am looking for a remote desktop thingy that:

Allows a Mac to be the client and Windows XP home to be the host/server

Is free (as in totally free, no trials)

Can run on LAN and NOT internet

Has a lag of less than 200ms

Can update at, say, 30 FPS or better.

I am trying to make it so I can play Maplestory on my mom's computer and will use OS X on my macbook.

I can't use parallels or VMWare, maplestory runs like at 5 FPS.

Ah, I misread you. Get VNC for it, I used to use UltraVNC. Configure that all up and you should be fine.

As per Mac adverts, MS is really crap to have so many versions. I use XP Pro luckily and am extremely happy with RDC. I've tried VNC before and the refresh rate is appalling. Sorry I have no advice.
