I think, it depends on your PC display configuration
so generaly 65000 colors at classic resolution.

>B) How about the speed of object moving ?

As fast as a X terminal
So I depends on your network bandwidth and load.

>C) If we want to run to run Performer on Window NT.

Pentium PC with good VGA board ( Mystique type )
Network communication card

SGI People, please don't pay attention at the following:
Try the incredible Oxygen VGA card. With it you can have real time texture
on PC
 not as fast as impact but faster than all Indigo2 and indies)

> 2) SOFTWARE :

Performer 1.2 or 2.0x
NFS on you sgi or you can't access disks.
EXCEED5 and its Exceed 3D option ( I guess basic pack is around 180 USD.)
NT 4.0
OpenGL run time is already bundled with NT
An extention of PC-NFS is appreciated, thus you can access SGI disks as a PC
disk.
If not you'll need to use FTP.

For the providers, try Yahoo or Altavista....
