So a system which can support 1GB of RAM probably can support three users in a classroom setting
involving the writing of essays on the computer, but how fast does the processor need to be? Can I
install your LTSP solution on a PentiumII-400Mhz system I've installed two 512MB SDRAM DIMMs into?
Or should the processor be at least 750Mhz to 850Mhz?
