I guess I wasn't clear, this setup is for one user in a teaching
scenario. A teacher/student wears different hats during exercises, e.g.
"project Manger" "OLAP administrator". They may have Project and several
PWA windows open but there is only one real user per system, e.g. an
exercise were one person wears several hats acting out several users at
once.
We did this with PIII/450s with 512/768 MB ram, or on laptops with less.
It is slow mainly when updating information involves all the servers,
that's why I think a dual slow processor whould be better than one
kickass processor
