Citrix Hardware Recommendation
I'm getting ready to order hardware for a new/replacement Citrix server. It's going to be running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Citrix Presentation Server 4.5. It will be a stand alone Citrix server, not part of a farm, and will host a maximum of 15 concurrent sessions. It will be running:
- Office XP or 2003
- WordPerfect 11
- Hyperion Enterprise 6.22 Client
- ADP 5 Client
- InSource CS 11.1 Client
- TimeKron Client
- Adobe Reader
- McAfee AntiVirus
I'm considering the following hardware:
- HP Proliant DL360 or ML530
- Dual 3GHz Xeon with 2MB L2 Cache
- 4GB RAM
Should I go with the DL360 or the ML530? Also, do the hardware specifications seem appropriate or should I be heading in a different direction?

that's hard to answer without knowing your users but a single processor would probably be sufficient. and of course you could always upgrade later if necessary.
I would stay with 4 GB RAM as that usually is the biggest bottleneck in a citrix server (in my experience). This will depend on how many apps each user has open at any one time, and how much ram each of those apps typically uses.
