RLH1919 - 27 Aug 2004 16:00 GMT
I have a Win/2000 Terminal Server with 1GB of memory. The
page file initial size set to 1536MB and the Max size set
to 3072MB. I have 17 T/S clients that connect to my
server. In Task manager my memory usage runs at an average
of 1475702MB and higher. My question is do I need more
memory? In the future I will be adding atleast 10 more T/S
clients for a total of 27. Is there a chart or guide I
could go by as far as memory requirements for this amount
of T/S clients? What is the recommended amount or memory
on my server for each T/S client? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This chart from the Capactiy and Scaling Guide is just an example, so do NOT
assume that this holds true for your applications.  For example, I'm the IT
Manager at a Medical Office where we use Practice Management & Electronic
Medical Records software which each use 40-50MB per instance, so each session
can easily suck-up 100-125MB or RAM.  Although my example is not ordinary, I
wanted you to be aware that you should test what your users require.

Also beware that the user processes may only access 1/2 of your installed
RAM, so if you have 1GB or RAM the user's programs may only access 500MB,
because the rest is strictly for system processes.

Brian Madden has some wonderful performance tuning & troubleshooting
whitepapers on his website:
