Microsoft Terminal Server 2003 Specs

Right now I'm running terminal server 2003 on a P3 with 512MB.  I know this isn't enough, but we were just trying it at first with 2 users.  Now I have 8 users and it is getting very slow and I don't know how good of a server to get.  I want to have at ready for 20-40 users.  They use microsoft office apps and our accouting and estimating software any help would be great.

Thanks

Also, think about drive space, as it sounds like users will be on the TS all day, using it as their primary workplace. You'll want to have adequate space for all their temp files, temp internet files, pagefile, etc... Are you going to utilize redirection of their my documents to keep that data off of your TS? Regarding hard drives, get the fastest, and setup in a raid 1, or 1/0, just not a raid 5 as that slows things a bit on TS. Will you be hosting remote users (as in not on the local LAN?) If so, bandwidth is a consideration. Think about printing too, canbe a pain in TS, especially if your prin environment is the wild west. Good luck
