Being a Citrix person... I would calculate about 50 to 75K per simultaneous
user in addition to about 384 meg for the base OS operations. The citrix web
site has a white paper somewhere on it. However, I think they underrate the
user memory a lot to increase the sales.
On the TheThin.net list (also run by Jim K - same as this one), you will
find that most people state one server 2 processor 1 gig mem for about 40 to
80 people (of course there is room for debate here and always be). Do...for
300 people...8 or so processors with 8 or so gigs.
How big is your custom database?
We run 80 simultaneous users on one 4 processor (XEON) 4 gig machine dual
NICS teamed with a separate printer server to handle printing and famous
printer spooler problems. Educational applications (small animations with
some sound.
I hope some of this helps.

Subject: [windows2000] Terminal Server Sizing
I have a colleague who is looking to implement a terminal server solution
to push out a custom database application, open office and email to 300
remote users.
He mentioned that his organization was looking at using three W2K3 servers
- dual xeon 2Ghz, 2 GB RAM as the terminal servers. I told him that I was
skeptical that 3 servers would be able to handle the load of 300 users -
with good probability that atleast once a week all 300 users will be
simultaneously using the servers.
Any advice ... load calculations ... rules of thumb ... etc???
Thanks
Dave
