2x Quad Core is about the minimum you can get (yes there are lower models)
that makes sense. If you go below that then you start screwing with the
memory bus speeds and other memory optimizations.
If memory is your bottleneck, then you should absolutely add more memory.
:o) XenApp 6 runs on top a 64-bit OS, it eats memory like you wouldn't
believe.
