Hi Garth,

The remote desktop session does not make use of the host's video hardware,
it is based on the client machine's video hardware. For example, RDP 5.1
enables you to experience 15-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit color depth when you
connect to a Windows XP-based computer on condition that the local video
adapter is capable of this video depth.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,

William Wang
Microsoft Online Support Engineer
