Ram is the only thing you are looking at. I would be asking the question:
"what brings the current servers to their "knees"? Is it Memory? Or is it
proc, or disk, network io etc...
That is what you have to gauge with. Then run a baseline on one of these
servers to see that it holds true on the new boxes (with the new os)

Subject: [THIN] How many servers?
Hello,
Currently I am running 17 Win NT TSE servers w/2GB or RAM; these servers
will go to their knees when they get to the 40 user count.
I have been told to get us NEW servers so we all finally agreed to purchase
ProLiant BL20p G2 X3.06-512 Dual Processor Blade servers with 4GB of RAM.
I am going through a brainstorm here trying to figure out how many servers
to ask for...
The average user takes up form 24MB to 45MB of RAM per session; and we would
like to be able to always have an off-line server or at least if one fails
to not decrease the users performance. So far I have counted 1 server for
CSG & NFuse, 1 server for STA, and 7 MetaFrame XP Win 2003 servers.
Does this seem like a good amount?
