Ditto, 3 hosts, 6 cpu's, and my servers max out at 48GB of RAM. Now my View environment may be a different story as it continues to grow. But if View is continued to be licensed by desktop then it won't matter. Didn't read anything about that yet.

I honestly can't see that many that would. I'm licensed for 6 proc's, meaning in my environment I could run a total of 144GB . I don't see this being a big deal for us in the SMB space. My hosts have less memory than the processor limit, as it is. Will this increase overtime? Likely.
