Initially, I think we would never have more than 25 sessions going at the same time. However, I'm hopeful that Sage will get used in more and more classes and that this number will increase over the next couple years. > I think I would budget about 80MB of RAM just for each open Sage > session.

Ignoring WebWork, etc. and assuming we plan for 25 simultaneous Sage sessions, anyone feel like taking a wild guess at how much a server would cost to meet Jason's suggested minimum requirements? I'm trying to get a sense for what I'm going to have to do to obtain one of these suckers... Thanks!
