The server may not care, but something has to. I.e. the browser or the OS. If the OS (say Win95) runs on the processor (say Pentium), then fine. If not (say Netscape on PowerPC NC without some OS layer) then someone has to write a driver for the hardware. That's expensive, and you start to get vertical and lose choice. IBM NC's only have a 500x700 pixel display (or whatever). If you want something bigger, tough. No cards, no drivers. Use, say, the Compaq diskless workstation, running Win95.
