I don't know much about X-Windows. Sometimes I run a remote X-windows session to an HP DL380 host from my MacBook Pro on the same LAN. I'm using X11 forwarding with the ssh -X option. The X-Windows performance is kind of slow. How can I speed this up? Can I install a video card in the HP DL380 to speed up performance? Is there another way?
Will a remote X-Windows session run faster if I install a better video card in the remote server

X should be fast enough on a LAN so your problem may be elsewhere. However, you could try to X acceleration software such as NX or VNC.
