[THIN] Re: [THIN] VMWare or not ¿?

no custom settings here either.  I'm going to run out of memory before I run
out of processor.  Should have gone with 32 GB. :)

 Have either of you made custom settings directly to the .vmx files or

 I've got a very similar setup to Chad with Citrix on VMWare.  2 HP
DL385's, 2 Dell 2950's.  Perfect for our department apps with only a few
users.  Citrix servers are mixed in with other odd application servers and
domain controllers.  Everything working great. (KNOCK KNOCK).  Only
assigning one virtual processor per Citrix server.
