Hi all

I'm looking for a bit of advice. We currently have 10 training room pc's
that are running windows 98 and now showing their age perfomance wise. What
I was wondering is how cost effective would it be to instead of upgrading
the machines to get a new server and set it up as a terminal server.

We already have a copy of Windows 2000 Server that we could install on the
new server and I understand that all copies of Windows 2000 Pro come with a
Terminal Services license and we have sufficient licenses to install Windows
2000 on all the pc's so all that would be required is the hardware.

What kind of spec would you recommend for the server for 10 light users all
accessing over LAN.

I have had a look through the scaling and capacities white paper on the
microsoft site but I know there is a difference between testing and real
life.

Kind Regards,

you really need to test out what apps you are using but 10 users I would put
in 1GB RAM for starters and and good single CPU should be fine. Fast hard
drives though!
