Guys,
Got a client with vanilla (non-Citrix) Terminal Server running 64-bit W2k3. 
It's got 2*dual-core and 8GB RAM. It currently has 23 users on it and showing 
about 75% RAM and Page File usage. Other than Office, it's running a not very 
intensive database (Client). Looking at Task Manager, each instance of Word, 
Excel, Outlook, etc, is showing as using 120-130MB ram. Compared to our 32-bit 
OSes, showing 25-30 MB per app.

I was expecting some overhead for using 64-bit OS and 32-bit apps, but 400% 
seems extreme!

Am I missing something stupid?


Nick
