I'm looking at turning some old PCs into Thin Clients to add to the exsisting terminal servers. I'm using Simply RDP. I've got it working on some fairly new laptops, but the old PCs i've got don't have onboard NICs and the Intel NICs I have are about 10 years old and don't support PXE. The Bios does list PXE Boot as an option though. Any help or info on a good supplier would be appreciated.
TIA

So pork pie, lemonade, cherry bakewells etc were all on my list!
