A 32-bit OS cannot provide more than 4GB to a given process. However, a
server running 32-bit Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition, for
isntance, can address up to 32GB of memory, and dole it out to
individual processes as long as each chunk does not exceed 4 GB.
In thin computing, it's rare to see any process which requires > 4GB.
(CAD, GIS, and other scientific applications are about the only ones
that do so). However, it's somewhat easy to find 10 processes each
needing 500MB. You could not run the former type of application well on
a 32-bit OS, but the latter applications would run fine on a 32-bit OS
as long as the OS itself could address more than 4GB in total (which
W2K3 Enterprise edition can). Therefore, it's possible you could run 30
users on a heavy app without going 64-bit. Right?

That depends on the application. Small applications you may be able to
get upwards of 40 users, but that's unusual. A couple things to keep in
mind, number 1 being that if your running a 32-bit OS your not going to
use more than 4gig, so don't bother putting it in. I also would not run
a Presentation Server with less than 4gig. If you want to get 30 users
on a heavy application go to 64-Bit and load up the memory.

What do most of you run, memory wise for about a 25-30 user load per
server for PS 4.0 on W2K3? 4GB memory? Less? More?
