We have 32GB RAM in 4 of our TS servers...BUT we also run the _64bit_
version of Windows 2003 Enterprise!

Each server packs around 250 concurrent users at the moment...running
multiple programs(ERP, Open Office, web browsing etc)...Memory usages peaks
around 22GB...

Sorry,

Forgot to mention that we have a 32 bit system.

32 bit Standard Edition: 4GB physical RAM addressable (software
limitation)
32 bit Enterprise Edition: 64GB physical RAM addressable

Anyway, 32 bit systems do always provide a 32-bit address spaces for
processes. That means for applications, they can commit less than 2 GB
virtual memory, or if you set the /3GB switch in the boot.ini less than 3GB
memory, because they share their space with the kernel. Most apps will be
happy with that. You see in the task manager in the row "virtual memory" how
many bytes got mapped into the address space. The row "physical memory" or
"working set" (not sure about the row name) shows you Windows idea of the
amount of physical memory actually used by the process.

In other words: The system can distribute the whole physical memory, but no
process can have more than this 2GB/3GB directly usable. If that gets a
problem, you must use the 64 bit version, either EMT64 or IA64 (Itanium)
architecture.
