Right, with the addition that now with Xen Desktop there is an excellent and
high performance way to remote to a virtual/physical PC so the equation has
another important variable- when do you go VDI?

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?
