thanks for the tip, looking into the resources a bit further I found that approx 35% of the memory utilized by Adobe Reader 5.1 is shared. So the actual consumption is approx 20 MB per user, still a bit high when you consider our average full desktop user consumes about 25 MB of RAM each. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Greenberg [mailto:steveg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 12:26 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: What version of Adobe Reader works best on Terminal Server Bruce , From your previous data have you determined that Adobe Acrobat Reader = uses that RAM for every user instance that is run? I always assumed that = Acrobat was smart enough to code share (load once in memory and run multiple = times)- I never thought to check.... Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Looking at the RAM consumed by Adobe, is version 6 any less resource intensive (I cannot find v6 to download and test)?? Version 4 uses 14 MB = RAM per instance 5.0.5 full version uses 22 MB 5.1 basic uses 27 MB and 5.1 = full uses 29 MB Our Capacity planning has been based on resource utilization of existing apps, upgrading Adobe will effect capacity and so we hope to keep the = impact at a minimum. thanks, Bruce Pfeifer Victoria BC Ca. ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - Emergent Online EOL's Universal Printer new Features include: Network Printing, Pagestreaming, 2400 DPI.
