The 2FS can do much higher screen resolutions than the SunRay 1, and I
believe SRSS 4 is a bit faster than previous versions.

We've got a Sun Ray 2 (not FS) at work and SRSS 4, very happy with it,
and performance is excellent.

In the latest SRSS(beta now), video playback shall be much enhanced.

Thanks. The 2fs does seem to be faster though that could be because
I'm using a faster server. I'll look for that updated srss 4.
I thought it was meant to be able to connect to a Windows server without
using srwc but that seems not to be so.
How can I use the video in on the Sunray 1 with Solaris 10.

The 2FS and the 2 are pretty much the same; but the first one has
more graphics memory.

You need that and you need to run a SRSS server before you can connect
to Windows.

Dunno.

Is there any improvement in graphics speed with the 2fs over the 2, or is
it just the increased screen resolution and the possibility of driving more
than one monitor?

Do any of these have any OpenGL capabilities?

No Sun Ray has any graphics acceleration beyond basic 2D, but I
believe VIS on SPARC can be used to accelerate some operations before
it gets sent to Sun Ray essentially as a bitmap.

The 2FS also has a fiber optic network port, maybe that could go
faster than traditional networks, not sure.

Thanks for your answer. That is very useful to know.

Fiber or copper interface has not got to do with speed on the Sunray,
its more about security in military applications and such since it is
not easy to "tap" data from a fiber connection.

The optical network port uses 100fx which is 100 Mbs, so no faster.

This is an orthogonal issue. SR 1 and 2 had too little memory to
support software OpenGL. Do not know about 2fs...

Hope this helps,
