Headless computer software

[FXB]

So I mainly use my desktop for downloading content. I prefer mac os to windows 7 but I would prefer a bigger display So. I am looking for a free software that let's me see what's happening on my desktop. I am currently using Team Viewer but I find it lags quite. What would be an alternative?

Sorry, I don't quite understand, are you connecting to your desktop from another computer? Or to another computer from your desktop? Also are they both windows 7? or Mac OS? or mixture?

Regardless, 'remote desktop connection' should be able to handle most of those scenarios. Especially windows to windows. I'm pretty sure you can do Mac to windows and vice versa though.

Just to be clear, by 'remote desktop connection' i mean the tool pre built into every modern windows OS. start>programs>accessories> remote desktop....
