Jeff, Do you have any specifics about user/RAM/performace ratios? thanks Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

You won't get many workstations on and keep performance. the amount of money you will spend will be immense to implement the solution.

If that's a route your looking at just use the inbuilt RDP connection to each XP machine and run on native vmware server (ideally ESX) But to answer your question your talking maybe 4 XP machines on a standard 32bit server with 4Gb.
