Topic: Running Windows using VMWare

[bas60]

Hi

I have a installation Windows XP running on SME 7.5 with Vmware Server 2

This work fine - hardware is basic 2Gb RAM, Athlon 2.7Ghz Processor
I think I need to BEEF-UP the server Spec

I need to provide support a couple of home based workers running a Windows based accounts system.

Has anyone using a Terminal Server product like http://www.elusiva.com/default.aspx
which allows multiple users to login simultaneously??

Putting in a dedecated Windows box to do this might be a bit political!!

Anyone know if SME Server can make use of multicore processors and say 8Gb RAm??

SME works fine with multiple processors/cores, just make sure it picks SMP kernel on the first boot. 8GB RAM is not a problem too.
I have SME servers running on 8 and 16 CPUs and with 8GB RAM. Ont he server like that, few XP desktops will work very fast with remote desktop clients.
