Connect to a remote Windows computer via uttsc on my Sun Ray – or better yet, ditch the Windows PC all together and run it locally on the Sun Ray server itself via Win4Solaris.

Strictly speaking, …
Strictly speaking, you don’t “run” anything on the actual thin client other than it’s embedded firmware. Your question would be better phrased as “Can I display 3-D applications on a Sun Ray thin client with suitable performance?” The answer is yes. With the use of some additional visualization software, you can take advantage of 3-D hardware acceleration in one or more graphics cards to render the 3-D image, and SRSS pushes the rendered image to the Sun Ray via its Adaptive Link Protocol.

win4solaris is based on QEMU, so I think you can achieve the same using QEMU or virtualbox… or even xVM (Xen)

This was locally – but we also do it remotely. Min bandwidth is 256KBs for basic apps like e-mail and word processing. Multimedia apps really need to be local in my experience, although the Beta Sun ray software has apparently greatly improved this.

In your demonstration, did you access your sunray server via internet or is it on a lan? How much bandwidth do you need for it to run relatively smoothly?

Sun Ray is a thin …
Sun Ray is a thin client. The windows machine/ Linux machine / Solaris machines aren’t necessarily discrete computers. They are Virtual Machines running on a VMWare ESX server.
It’s pretty much like having a computer that is powerful enough to run Windows Remote Desktop and remote desktoping into your virtual machine.
Benefit is that maintenance is much easier and you have a single computer that can be moved to any location using their java card.
