 hardware upgrades on server what I'm googling around cant find or info is
 sort of outdated. Terminal will launch dosbox, whatever browser to access
 bank, OO and some solitare. Server then should be this AMD Athlon 64 / 3200
 with 512 RAM, two 30GB and 180GB Maxtor 7,2K rpm ATA drives, 1,2GB swap. Is
 this enough for one terminal with server still runing desktop. Somewhere
 heard that each terminal takes 100MB RAM, is it true? What else I should take
 in account?



That would be perfect, you may run out of ram though depending on what
you run on the server and client.

That server will do for one thin client, actually for two or three - after 
that, you need more ram.
