A new service from a company called OnLive will allow PC users to download a simple client, and then stream games from a remote server. You don't need to have a great PC, or even have a video card at all. All of the video rendering is done on OnLive's servers, and the result is sent to you. The basic requirement is simply a fast broadband connection. You can play at standard definition with a 1.5mbps line, or at 720p HD with 5mbps.

The big concern here is obviously lag, and it will be interesting to see if OnLive's servers will be able to handle the load. I know I'm intrigued to see where this service can go, and will definitely be keeping my eye on it. Video card upgrades could eventually be a thing of the past.
