I don't think it's the ONLY way to go. Most 2000 servers in production
never get anywhere near 200 users. Now if you are running out of krnl
memory hitting the RSL limit long before hard bottlenecks I would agree.
But if not then you have lots of option.
In addition what does this mean" because Windows 2000 TS can handle only
2GB of RAM "
This is not true.... putting out statements like that mislead people.

Hi David,
If you are going to run your Citrix farm on Windows 2000 TS, then VMWare
is
the only way to go; because Windows 2000 TS can handle only 2GB of RAM
and
no more than two hundred users.
I've been using VMWare for two years and the VMWare GSX version 2.5 is
pretty much stable. I suggest you run your Citrix Farm on top of
Windows
2003 Terminal Services to maximize your Quad CPU's and 8GB of RAM.

Importance: High
I am beginning an install of our first citrix farm, and someone has it
in
their head that vmware and citrix is the only way to go. Our first proof
of
concept is going to be under 100 users and I have 2 dell 6650's quad
with
8GB. I also have 3 dell 6400's, quad with 8GB, for later. Our whole
network
is 1600 users. I am not familiar enough with vmware to support as of yet
in
my opinion. I can see after testing and finding out limitations,etc...
can
anyone give me examples of success/failures, application lags? Thanks
